The worse life gets, the less scary prison gets. No mortgage, no grocery bills, no power bills. You're only slightly more restricted than people on the outside. Particularly in some of those Scandinavian countries. Anders Brevik is living much more comfortably than a lot of Aussie veterans.
For sure. The Scandinavian system is good in the sense that most can return easily to society, because they were never really locked away in terrible conditions, but it feels "wrong" in some way for the very violent and those who will never rehabilitate.
Was talking about this the other day when people asked what I will do after. At least there is always a warm meal.
