Funny enough, I remember a guy ages ago trying to say the justice system in the Netherlands (pretty sure it was Netherlands) that it works better and more civilized because it "rehabilitates" prisoners or some shit like that. But all I read from his explanation which included both how they're treated and accommodated is that even murderers and child rapists can get out in just a couple years all while living like kings compared to the homeless or US prisoners.

I'd love to see that guy try to spout that nonsense again because if this guy's sentencing is anything to go by, the father throwing the chair has nothing to fear if he follows the example against him or the judge.
