Good on him. Hopefully we can get rid of this stone-age barbarism. It has no place in society.
If people only care about punishing criminals, life sentences would be more tortuous then the death penalty imo. Unless they believe in hell I suppose but even then spending decades locked up and then entering
hell is more cruel then just entering hell.
If I were sentenced to life in prison I'd probably kill myself immediately if I had the ability to do so.
To me, life in prison IS worse than death.
Truly a living hell.

wow cool a swedish prison, sure represents the other prisons in the world wonderfully.
Ugh I can't believe we don't keep all criminals in stone dungeons anymore like wtf they even get a bed?????
what's the fucking point tho
your freedom is still being penalized. oh wow you get to sleep comfortably at night, maybe that's better than, i dont know, traumatize the average prisoner and potentially fucking up their rehabiliation process
I live in America where we our sole focus in the justice system is prisoner slave labor and... Nothing else really.
Even besides that, having no freedom is still fucking horrible even if the room you're locked in for the rest of your life "looks kinda nice".
I'm a stone cold Atheist, but I respected the church a lot more for it's older days, when it was a true power-house of influence. The church of the early days was powerful, intimidating and awe-inspiring.
I miss the old Church.

So you're a stone cold Atheist but miss the days when the Church, an institution that operated with brutality and ignorance in equal measure, still had the power to rule and dictate every aspect of people's lives.
Yeah if the prisons looked like that I wouldn't mind attemping some crap tier bank heist.
I too will be willing to risk throwing away my ability to live a life if it meant I got to spend 10 years confined to what looks like a low quality hotel room.
Yes.
god I really hope you live on the street or in a war-torn area when you're saying this, cause otherwise I'd say you sound like a proper tool
Then come here and fuckin do it, I dare you
Seriously though, nobody thinks like that. If they did, then how do you explain the fact that crime in Sweden is no more common than in other countries, probably even less compared to most?
I'd wager crime rates is also affected by the economy and how many well paying jobs are there. If the population is happy then that government and company owner nr.543 Jim Doe is doing something right.
Heck maybe its also in the law enforcement and how strict the cops are cuz in this city dem cops like to stare at how fast the grass grows as in they are useless I've seen many of these swatting streamers videos and i don't think we even have something like that its a whole different plate of night stick.
I think you hit the nail on the head in that first sentence there. I don't think the quality of prison life has any effect on how willing people are to go through with criminal activity.
It also has a lot to do with the fact that Swedish prison legit works at rehabilitating people and get them back into society instead of fucking them over until they return to a life if crime. If you give a poor, uneducated criminal an education and the chance to adapt to the civilian life they will most likely not go back to crime.
The only thing that stops you being a criminal is that prison is shit? Something is clearly wrong with you if that's the case and I hope you aren't representative of your general population
