If I’m not completely wrong, if you get convicted for life in Finland, it means about 13 years and if you behave you’ll get out even sooner. And if you have committed several crimes, the longest you can sit in prison is 15 years. And apparently there’s no difference if you murder one person or if you blow up a school full of kids.
Once there was a rape case where the woman was brutally beaten but the rapist didn’t get a longer sentence or anything because “beating is part of the raping.”
