Meanwhile the guy who breached a Finnish therapy database and held 33,000 records for ransom just got out of prison after serving around 2 years of a 6 year sentence:

To make matters worse he basically "served" 2 years in hotel. Because that's what Finnish prisons are. He clearly wasn't punished enough. I'm afraid he will go back to his criminal life...
Finland to financial criminals victimizing the entire country:
Finland to the actual victims:
(Hi from Canada where the courts do the same thing and then get all high and mighty about being "progressive" and "rehabilitative" when the victims express their grievances)
i think that the worse thing about this is that the people committing the same crime are made millionaires and will never receive any sort of comeuppance for it.
True.
Prisons shouldn't be cruel and unusual. If you think Finnish prisons are so good compared to being free in your country... what do you think that says about your country?
I'm already got bit off topic and I'm afraid this will go far away from the topic if I'd answer your question. I rather keep this sub on topic. And also one of the rules of this community is literally: "Try to keep things on topic"
