    You can get up to 17 years in prison if you are given a life-sentence in Denmark

    In Denmark a life sentence means you can get out on early release no earlier than after 16 years but there's no guarantee of that happening and there are examples of prisoners being held for more than 30 years. The quadruple cop killer Palle Sørensen was in prison for 34 years as nobody in the carceral bureaucracy wanted to piss off the pigs by releasing him.
