Re: 2 life sentences +40 years for The Silk Road creator (PETITION FOR CLEMENCY) SIG
Third episode is out now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDme9kRtdwQ
In this episode they use the fact that someone logged into DPRs account after he was arrested as proof that there's more than one DPR. Couldn't or wouldn't that have been any of the feds who have access to the account?
In next weeks episode: "How many DPRs were there?" That should be interesting. I'm hoping I don't get accused
. Are you worried, theymos? 
'Life' in the UK has only meant life in less than 100 or so cases. You'd have to be Satan personified to get it.
In the US life without parole means exactly that which is what he got. They seem awful keen to dole those sentences out too. Contrast that with Norway where it's not possible to serve more than 21 years. They'll probably have to come up with some interesting ideas to deal with that charming Breivik character.
Prison is a business in the States, so it pays to keep people locked up, but that's one of the things that is fundamentally wrong with the prison system. There's no way in hell anyone should be allowed to make money from people being incarcerated because obviously that's just going to lead to corruption.

. Are you worried, theymos? Well it is silly, but what actually is a life sentence in the US? A life sentence in the UK is usually 30 years I believe, and not actually until you die. Sometimes you can get out in half of that time depending on the parole setting but many life sentences carry a 'minimum' term of 15 years and you can get out after that due to good behaviour or whatever.
