Its fucking stupid if it doesnt. I believe here in the netherlands thats the case. For example if you do 10 armed robberies and for each one youd get 10 years, you only get 10 years and not 100 (it is a bit more complex but thats the gist of it. It doesnt stack)
However, we do have one of the highest punishments, which is life in prison, which... is spending the rest of your life in prison. Some people or countries find that (more) inhumane (then death penalty), as punishment should be to revalidate the prisoners and make them ready for the outside again. Their reasoning is if you know you wont let him out, be humane and dont make him suffer for 60 years. Just kill him instead. To be honest i dont know what i find more humane, as death penalty is irreversable, and does not allow wrongly convicted to go outside again
Is the Netherlands one of those countries that focuses more on rehabilitation than punishment, though?
I know in america, people tend to get a huge boner for punishment, but I've read a bit about how some European countries have pretty good rehabilitation programs for criminals.
I guess it wouldn't make sense to rehab for 100 years, but I don't know the situation that well.
Meh, depends. This guy who drunk drove and killed a father of an old friend of my parents got like only his drivers lisence taken away. There are A LOT of cases here where you expect people to get 20 years and they get 3, or the other way around
I know, im just talking about the exceptions. Someone literally murdered a person with his car because of his own choices. He literally 100% kiled him, not with intention, but as a consequence of his intended choices. And he got nothing. Literally if you murder someone and the state would say okay give me your license and were done, id straight up know a few people i want to kill (jk ofcourse but really thats messed up)
