Shocking level of primitive brutality in Ireland still.
The average time served for life sentence in Ireland is 12 years…Not really a full life sentence….
Maybe judges only live to be 12 years of age.
Half of them do have same intelligence as a 12 year old. Maybe thats why.
@John003: Currently in Ireland the average life sentence is approximately 18 years, according to the Irish Prison Services. A prisoner serving life is eligible to have their case reviewed after seven years in custody.
Still a joke – life sentence should be life.
