I don't know how the prison system and prisoners are in Belgium...perhaps Meule can gives us some info on that.
This happened in a town called Dendermonde, where they have a prison, but they immediately moved the guy to a maximum security prison in Bruges, although not in solitary.
And no, we don't gave capital punishment, but I'm all for it in a case like this. Take Dutroux for instant, the guys is living it up in jail, he even has digital tv, gets all the food he wants and we teh tax payers are paying for it, for the rest of his life, godammit Put him in front of a firing squad and be done with it, I say.
And this "Joker" is now refusing to eat, they got him on IV. If this keeps up he won't even go to trial. But even if he does he'll plead insanity, spend a few years in a psycho ward and be free. Yeah, our system is ****ed up, but there's nothing you can do about it.
Only a couple of weeks ago 15 hardened criminals got free because of a loophole in our "justice" system. They walked out of the courthouse grinning from ear to ear.
I could go on and on about our infamous justice system and how the guilty seem to be treated like royalty and the victims are left out in the cold
And yes Hec, Rik and I have met. He was at my house only a couple of weeks ago. He and I don't live that far from each other

You won't be able to read this (unles you're Rik), but you can see a pic and a somewhat exaggerated artist's rendition of the culprit. The article is about how he refuses to eat and is now on an IV in the medical ward of the prison in Bruges. Psychiatrists are gonna examine him tomorrow. Bet I can tell you what they'll say HLN België - Babybeul aan infuus omdat hij weigert te eten (640791)
The guy's face wasn't as pale as the drawing suggests, he just had black eyes and red hair.

Look at the United States. A person can kill a bunch of people and can escape the death penalty by run to Mexico. If they are arrested in Mexico, the Mexican authorize will not turn them over to US Law Enforcement if the person is going to be charged with the death penalty. The US has to promise Mexico, which is a clause in a signed treaty, that the worst the person will get is life in prison. That why the married US Marine that deserted after killing and burning the body of his pregnant Marine girlfriend, then fleed to Mexico. Got catch, will stand trial and will not get the death penalty for the double murder, (girlfriend and unborn child) only life in prison.
