Is there a “Parole” system in iceland or do they serve their full sentences, and does Life imprisonment mean imprisonment for life without parole as I’ve heard from some sources (Even though Wikipedia says it’s at least 16 years and not Life without parole)

From my experience you can behave like a complete shithead and only serve a small part of your sentance
The maximum sentence for any crime in Iceland is 16 years. There is no life imprisonment here.
And no, prisoners generally do not serve their full sentence.

Please tell me you’re not planning something.
It says through one source that I linked that It does exist However it has only been imposed twice and they were reversed i heard
Usualli it is 2/3 but if prisoner is under 20 or is an exellent prisoner he´ll get 1/2
They usually spend 2/3 in prison, they get even extra off if they go to AA program. In very rare cases people get less if the person you kill made your life a living hell.
