Society Rehabilitation

What exactly has to be done for the punishment to fit the crime? Some societies have harsh punishments such as beheadings for a crime as simple as accidentally removing a woman's veil. Who determines what crimes justify the punishment? Throughout history there have been innocent people who have been held accountable for a crime they did not commit. Crimes are punishable by anything from serving time in prison to death.


Still there are societies who create laws to rehabilitate rather than punish society's criminals. This may come back to haunt them, even if it is only one monster among the general population.


On July 22, 2011, a society that does not punish criminals saw a monster unleashed that would haunt them and make them realize that the laws are flawed. Norway was taken by surprise as a massacre took place. To understand where I am going here, welcome to Norway's prison life!


The USA's Country Club Prisons have nothing on the Norway humane detentions. Heck, I'll bet nobody wants to leave. To add more insult to injury, in Norway the maximum sentence for any crime is a mere 23 years!


Now that the justice system was viewed as joke by the world, Norway tried to declare Andres Behring insane so that they can keep him in a mental hospital for life. Well, justice again rears it's ugly head on Norway as Behring is declared sane and gets 21 years. That's 2 years less than the maximum sentence in land of Norway.


Well the most humane society on earth is being tested again thanks to the monster who gave them a wake-up call. It is obvious that Behring will test Norway's humane laws, because now he threatens to go on a hunger strike until death if he isn't given better video games, a sofa and a larger gym!


I'm guessing that most people would say, "STARVE!" Unfortunately, Norway wouldn't want their humane society to be hit by Human Rights violations, so more than likely they will accommodate their little monster.
