Austrian admits 24-year abuse of daughter in cellar

I don't think it would be even remotely unfair for him to be kept in solitary confinement in a windowless hole for his sentence. Though if the other inmates are anything like some of the sorts you get in american prisons, I wouldn't want to deny them a fair crack at Fritzl. I imagine that won't happen though. They won't want to be seen as allowing violence to happen in their prisons, so the monster will probably be protected.

These sorts of stories bring out the ruthless animalistic sides in lots of us. I feel somewhat guilty for wishing such awful things on him but somehow I do. It gets under my skin.
 
since the leoben prison is only for offenders with maximum of 18 months and is half court building it's nowhere near as bad

the mean guys are mostly going to Stein which is far from being that fancy
 
There is no punishment to fit his crime.

So many questions with few answers.

BBC.

The admittance of murder is the thing that will make him serve the rest of his days in prison. Good.

My father in law who lived as a young teenager in Japan during world war two told me a story about friends of his during the American occupation after the war who would intentionally get themselves arrested so they could live in an American prison. They were simply amassed that they would be allowed to sit around all day, do nothing and then get three large meals a day. The preferred crime was an attempt to steel supplies from the US army and sell on the black market. But then he said that it did not take long for the Americans to figure out that they had to start turning over common criminals to the Japanese. That ended the problem quickly.
 
Austrian Fritzl sentenced to life

Austrian Josef Fritzl, who kept his daughter in a cellar and fathered her seven children, has been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Fritzl, 73, was found guilty of all charges against him, including rape, incest, murder and enslavement.

The defendant sat still for the verdict, telling the court that he accepted it and would not appeal.

The court ordered that Fritzl would serve his sentence in a secure psychiatric facility.
