How can I get life in prison in Denmark for shoplifting? 🤤

I bet if you killed someone while shoplifting that'll get you close.

What about looked at them real mean? I could muster a threat. “I’d kill you!”

Might work, might not. Best to play it safe.

You don’t usually get that for murder.

How about if I continuously insult the guard’s mother. Can I go on a month to month thing?

I don't know for other countries but the Swiss image does not represent the reality. Overcrowded and ageing prisons are a big problem.

Yo Sweden and Denmark don't look too bad

Our band spent the night at the Ottawa Jail Hostel once and had a great time! Someone even wrote a song about it but I can't find it now.

But man, Denmark looks like such a perfect little man cave. I'm jealous now!
