The European way of reducing high corrections system costs.....
http://nblo.gs/106peq A Belgian man serving a life sentence for rape and murder will be allowed to have doctors end his life, after a landmark ruling. Unable to control his violent sexual urges, Frank Van Den Bleeken, who is 50, argued he would never be freed. The decision follows a three-year legal battle by the prisoner, who was convicted in the 1980s. The ruling is the first involving a prisoner since the assisted dying law was introduced in Belgium 12 years ago. Van Den Bleeken will soon be transferred to a hospital where the medical procedure will take place, his lawyers told reporters. “But I cannot say when or where that will happen,” Jos Vander Velpen added.
