Unbelievable!

Obviously a very civilized country. DM readers need not apply.

Norwegian law apparently prohibits the keeping of people in long periods of solitary confinement.

This national law was not passed for the benefit of this one man, and was in place long before he was in custody.

Do you expect a country to change its national laws for this one man? Do you not see the dangers of precedent? How do laws protect or punish anyone consistently or fairly if they can be changed or broken for "special cases" decided by a lone court?

What is, the rule of law?

Re: Job vacancy with a difference coming up
 

No, your take on this. Why keep him in solitary? Just put him in the general population. Problem solved. It won't take long.

Because that would be injecting my emotions into the law.

Second, that article explains their reasons for not doing that - a concern for the safety of others, not his safety.

Yes, I read that and discounted it as bollocks!

I daresay, but the Norwegian legal system disagrees with you.

Re: Job vacancy with a difference coming up
 

Doesn't alter my opinion one jot.

Re: Job vacancy with a difference coming up
 

I can see that, but legal systems aren't supposed to reflect random people's opinions, and we should probably all be glad of that.

Norway doesn't have capital punishment, either, so they can't really randomly apply it by dumping certain criminals into a population where they might be killed. How, and who, would choose who gets that treatment? It's a can of very unappetizing worms.

Re: Job vacancy with a difference coming up
 

Ask him. Solitary or general population? His choice.

Re: Job vacancy with a difference coming up
 

Why are you trying to achieve another death?

Re: Job vacancy with a difference coming up
 

Apparently, those choices are not within the law.
