On the one hand, he has family, and it's horrifying that prisons are this slack. On the other hand... I probably shouldn't say my other thoughts. But let's just say I'm not shedding a tear.

If the Norwegian prison system significantly reduces inmate violence, then all deaths in more brutal prisons are in part the responsibility of the state.

Without reforms the state is putting prisoners in charge of this type of death.

There's someone in my family who got time for something similar and got released. I wish this happened to them.

I'm really sorry that happened in your family and hope you're ok now
