| 释义 |
Records and statisticsIn October 2015, 142 inmates served life sentences in Sweden, all excluding one was convicted of murder (including accessory, attempt and incitement to murder). One was convicted of genocide (Stanislas Mbanenande). Seven of those who served life sentences were women.[4] Longest-staying inmatesIn 2006, convicted murderer Leif Peters died in psychiatric care after 39 years of confinement. As of 2011, Leif Axmyr, who, in 1982, killed his former girlfriend Ulla-Britt Jacobsson and her new fiancée Tommy Larsson, has spent nearly three decades in prison. He has the longest record of confinement which is still ongoing[5][6] and within the duration of his confinement has filed a total of 11 appeals, with one (in 2010) overturning his imprisonment in favor of a determinate sentence of 46 years (which would have implied his release in 2013, with two-thirds served), but this appeal was overturned and was later appealed to the Supreme Court of Sweden, which was denied.[7][8][9][10] ReformsIncreased criticism from prison authorities, prisoners and victims led to a revision of practices and in 2006, a new law was passed which gave prisoners the right to apply for a determined sentence at the Örebro Lower Court. A prisoner has to serve at least 10 years in prison before applying and the set sentence cannot be under 18 years, the longest determinate sentence allowed under Swedish law (10 years plus 4 years if one is a repeat offender and 4 more years if the sentence includes other serious crimes).[11] When granting a determinate sentence, the court takes into account the crime, the prisoner's behavior in prison, public safety and the chance of rehabilitation. However, some prisoners may never be released, being considered too dangerous. Of those who have been given set sentences under the new law, the sentences have ranged between 25 and 31 years. In 2007, the Swedish Supreme Court ruled that ten years in prison should overrule life imprisonment as the "general option" for premeditated murder. Notable examples
