Discussions about the release of criminals from prison are always a hot topic. In addition to incest perpetrator Josef Fritzl, an abuse perpetrator in Styria is also fighting for the release of the measure.
The conditional release of incest perpetrator Josef Fritzl from prison is currently being intensively discussed. The well-known expert Adelheid Kastner supports this with her report: his dementia overshadows his mental abnormality. He is therefore no longer dangerous, which means he can be transferred to the normal prison system and therefore placed in a nursing home. A panel of three judges agreed, but the Higher Regional Court would like to receive further reports before making the decision.
There is also excitement in Styria about a 37-year-old Styrian that is currently being enforced. He was sentenced to prison and confinement as a sex offender. He has served his prison sentence for this terrible crime, but is now in prison. As of 2022, several reports have confirmed that he is no longer dangerous.
According to his lawyer Christian Fauland, nothing prevents him from being dismissed and his old employer would welcome him with open arms. His client is also willing to undergo extensive therapy outside prison walls, has gained full insight and has dealt intensively with his crime. Only the Karlau court and prison do nothing. Furthermore, all applications are ignored and the competence of the experts is undermined.
Both the institution and the court refer to data protection in response to the ‘Krone’ request. If his client’s condition deteriorates again, it will be solely due to the system’s failure.
