He had a one month sentence in a no-walls prison, probably with signs saying "it is forbidden to go beyond this sign". Those places are typically used for people just caught drunk in traffic. More or less a way to keep people with alcohol problems off the booze for a month.
I assume people with longer sentences will get health care.
(People with long sentences also spend the last time before they leave prison in those institutions, to get used to not be locked in.)
A one-day extension isn't exactly serious, either. I believe it could have been much worse.
(Disclaimer: A bit old information, but probably still correct.)
- DrStalker 13y agoThe penalty is really just a token punishment, I wonder if there was an agreement not to give him anything harsher in return for him not making a big deal bout being denied the treatment in the first place.
- berntb 13y agoNot really. I think a day or two extra is typical punishment for minor problems (not cleaning your room, etc). It said in the linked DN article that he was kept locked up the rest of the month (not moved to a separate institution). They are quite tolerant there, as I said that place is also used as last stop to get people used to not being inside walls after years in prison. Either the prison administrator was incompetent, probably not uncommon, or the guy had a low pain threshold. (same Disclaimer as in the GP.)
