aside from the fact that my gamecube is better than his ps2 he is getting 50 minutes a day more social interaction than i do and i'll bet that lazy bastard doesn't even have to do his own laundry

I'm all for rehabilitating people who were at least somewhat victims of misfortune, like kids who were born to neglectful parents, or drug addicts who need help to turn their life around. But years of therapy for someone who murdered dozens of children because he's a Nazi sounds like throwing time and money down the drain.

Even in Scandinavian wonderland, resources must not be unlimited. So until every one of the grieving families has had everything they need, this guy shouldn't be getting more than the bare minimum. Losing a child can wreck the parents emotionally, literally ruining their lives, destroying marriages, causing severe depression.

I were in prison I would definitely prefer a private cell with a video game system, compared to being forced to integrate and room with other prisoners who might beat me up or do worse. Solitary confinement with a fairly modern game system to play with sounds about on par with my high school years and better in some ways. I'm not advocating for the death penalty, just that when people read about a country's prison system, it shouldn't sound like an invitation to commit murder there.

I stick by my recommendation of slow-paced classic literature only for this guy. Suggestions include A Separate Peace, The Scarlet Letter, and Moby Dick.

they set their prison system up to assume that most people that commit crimes aren't mass-murdering psychopaths, but instead people who have some severe issues that they couldn't face on their own. so the system as whole is set up to attempt to truly rehabilitate people, rather than set up specifically to allow a societal form of 'revenge' against those who commit crimes.

it's actually remarkable that there was only small amount of Norwegians who wanted him executed. The rest of them were like "Ja, toss him into prison", knowing full well that their prison system would allow him quite a few creature comforts. everybody knows he's most likely never getting out, but they stuck to their principles in a very trying time and allowed him access to systems that were intended to rehabilitate. I'm sure a lot of people secretly wished he would just disappear from the face of the earth, but still, Norway has a lot of pride of in their social services so they into the system he went.

gently caress that, i served over 3 years in the federal system and spent a week of that in solitary. even with a ps2 i would take general population any day because solitary is straight up torture. it appears that the only reason he even has a ps2 is because the norweigian prison system gave it to him as a concession item, sort of like saying ok you are going to live a bleak, miserable existence but you can have a 15 year old game system. saying that sounds like no big deal or a vacation or whatever is profoundly ignorant.

Naaaaaah, there is a very well established causal relationship between bad prison conditions and recidivism. The only argument for harsher punishment(beyond a reasonable minimum amount) are the hurt little feelings of the victims and the public. Beyond that it's a really bad idea and hurts everyone, including those victims and the public.

It doesn't hurt everyone if you extend the prison stay indefinitely. How about this, good prison standards for anyone but the lifers. Encourage suicide.

There was a whole thing in the news about two people who murdered and raped a pair of underage siblings. The issue was that one of the killers made parole after sixteen years, and the childrens parents lived in the same city.

Murder one should be a one-way ticket out of society forever.

I guess depends on someone's personality. I'm willing to admit that being stuck in solitary confinement with a PS2 doesn't sound horrible to me, but it could be for other people... probably for most people who are of a more social nature. And I'm sorry that you had that experience. I definitely still think it's a generous punishment for someone who committed a crime of this enormity.

I'm just thinking out loud here, but solitary is probably nothing at all like being a social recluse and may in fact be a form of torture that's used way too often and too long in Scandinavian countries, even against non-violent offenders that have yet to go to trial. Seeing as he'd be murdered immediately in gen pop, there's really no recourse unless the death penalty is reintroduced. I think he should be executed, but until that happens I'm content to lol at this rear end in a top hat being forced to play Crash Bandicoot endlessly until he offs himself.

Norway Today posted:

Last year 801 threats and incidents were registered between inmates and employees in Norwegian prisons. In 2014 the number was 508. Both staff and inmates are concerned.

So in the whole norwegian prison system, there were 801 incidents and threats. So for the whole year, for the whole country, that's how many incidents there were. That's including somebody getting pissed and saying "I'm going to kick your rear end". They get written up for that poo poo, that's how safe it is.

i imagine a lot of people not from america think we are joking when we describe the reality of most maximum security prisons here, i have two friends who work in them and they get so many claims of people being threatened or raped that they don't have time to investigate all of them and they have to pay some outside department to review it sometimes, also finding a guy who hangs himself with a bedsheet is fairly common

this is just local jails and not maxi prisons from what i read

quote:

There were 967 local jail deaths in 2013. There were fewer deaths due to illness, such as liver disease or cancer. However, BJS reported “an increase in unnatural causes of death, such as suicide, drug or alcohol intoxication, accident and homicide,” leading to the overall upswing.

quote:

Major news stories have highlighted data that suggest rates, especially in the last three years, have risen dramatically. At least 327 jail suicides occurred in 2013.

couldn't find up to date numbers but apparently jail and prison suicides have raised more since 2013

That's true. But you've also got to think that because most prisoners are out of there after 15-20 years no matter what that there is much less incentive to commit murder. There's only like 20 people serving life over there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_imprisonment_in_Norway

People in the Progress Party, our right-wing populist party which every European country has to have, have proposed that we have separate prisons for foreigners because they figure it's not going to be much of a punishment for them. Reminds me of the early modern idea that commoners and nobles had to have separate punishments because it would be worse for the noble, not being used to hardship.

I say we take it one step further: We should take great pains to accurately emulate every other country's prison system, so for example Americans can feel like home in a prison designed to be just like an American prison.
People from the Philippines accused of drug use could be shot without trial, Russians could be raped and stabbed.

I might know someone who would be interested, if you provide airfare from Australia to Germany, and give him a certificate stating that he spent time in a *real* German clink.

He needs the certification in order to present it to the High Bogan Council, in order to be ordained as an acolyte Lad Rapper of the Wigger denomination. An American prison would be best (just like the avatar, 50 Cent!), but he might squeak through.
