Throughout the '80s, Nesset poisoned his patients with a muscle relaxer. In Norwegian law, the maximum sentence for a prisoner was 21 years; however, he only served 12 years of his sentence. He was released under parole terms, which have since expired. He is currently living under an assumed name in Norway. In most cases, they gave them purposeful overdoses of morphine, or forced water into their lungs.

The exact number of people that they killed in Lainz, Vienna, between the years of and is unknown, although they confessed to 49 of them. Wagner and Leidolf received life sentences at their trials, while Mayer and Gruber were given lighter sentences on charges of manslaughter and attempted murder.

As of , all have been released from prison and are living under assumed names. Mika Muranen killed three people over a two-day period in This led to an epic shootout with police that ended with Muranen's incarceration on April 19, He was sentenced to life in prison for his crimes, but he was released in Wolfgang Abel and Marco Furlan killed at least seven people in a violent spree that began in August and ended in March They called themselves "Ludwig," deployed Nazi symbology, and traveled around Italy doling out their own twisted form of justice.

The two were caught in March , and were sentenced to 30 years in prison in Furlan was released in , while Abel was freed in Charlene Gallego, alongside her husband Gerald, raped and killed 10 women , most of whom were teenagers.

They were active killers in Sacramento, California, between the years of and Both were captured and went to trial shortly thereafter. Charlene testified against her husband in exchange for a lighter sentence of 16 years in prison. He cannot communicate with other inmates face-to-face, and he is restricted to using a speaker on his cell door.

Allowed visits with immediate family will be similarly restricted by a wall of plate glass, only one or two hours a week. Besides family, other visitors might include religious leaders or social workers. Like most serial killers housed in protective custody units , Ridgway has to earn his privaleges through good behaviour, although it is doubtful that many of the opportunities open to other inmates will apply to him. Chained at the ankles, garbed in an orange prison jumpsuit, and staring out the window with tears in his eyes, Rader looked upon the prison that would, if he were assessed as being a security risk, likely be his home for the remainder of his sentence.

Rader spends his days in an 80 square-foot cell, with a foam-covered concrete bunk, one sink, a metal shelf, and a plastic trash can. He spends his one hour of free time a day, in shackles of course, in a chain-linked, outdoor, 10x10 foot pen. He is allowed three showers and five hour-long recreation periods a week.

The District Attorney did everything in his power to ensure that Rader lacks access to any kind of material or medium that might help him relive his deviant fantasies, including pencils, pens, papers, news reports covering his own murders, audio or video recordings, or any inanimate article that could represent a fetish of a human or animal. It was also recommended that Rader's incoming mail be first fully censored by prison officials.

Each time Rader leaves his cell it will be double-checked for any of the above-mentioned or simliar items. There was also a recommendation of classifying Rader as a sex offender, a risky label to possess inside a prison as dangerous as El Dorado.

Sex offender classification would mean Rader would receive treatment as a sex offender instead of a violent offender. There are several purposes for administering treatment to someone serving a life sentence without parole, including the expanded knowledge of the inmate's case, the reduction of prison infractions, misconduct, or violations, and the improvement of placement decisions regarding appropriate security level and determination of the kind of access to certain privaleges.

Howerer, after a year following his placement at El Dorado, Rader is behaving well enough to grant him several privaleges that violate these earlier recommendations. As of April, he is allowed television and radio access, and he can read newspapers, magazines, and books. Even though Rader used to cut out magazine advertisements of women and children to further his sexual fantasies, he is nevertheless now permitted to draw upon paper with a pencil or pen.

In addition, all televisions are protected with a sheath of plastic molding to prevent any prohibited materials from being stored inside, and must be listened to through a pair of headphones. Even though materials depicting sexual or erotic stimuli are not allowed, victims have argued that he would still be able to read about himself, with access to popular magazines such as Time and Newsweek, feeding his narcissistic dreams. According to the Kansas Department of Corrections , Rader has progressed two "incentive" levels, criteria used to measure an inmate's good behaviour that have become popular in school-wide behaviour management systems.

In some minimum security establishments, incentive levels , or "earning privaleges," determine the allowed amount of cash to be spent each week, the number of total personal possessions, and level of association or socialization time with other inmates which clearly would not apply to Rader.

Paul Bernardo, likely Canada's most famous serial killer, has been serving an indefinite double-life sentence at Kingston Penitentiary since for his primary role in the torture and murder of two teenage girls in the early 's. His equally-famous partner in crime, Karla Homolka, was also housed in Kingston at the recently-closed Kingston Penitentiary for Women , before being later transferred to Ste.

Like others housed in maximum and super-maximum confinement, Bernardo is only allowed outside of his small 2x3 metre cell for one hour each day. Kingston Penitentiary is one of the oldest prisons in Canada, at years old, and houses about inmates currently, but it will soon be decomissioned as the Conservative government moves to more centralized units.

It is assumed that Bernardo will either be transferred to one of these new complexes, or to the same prison fellow inmate Russel Williams was transferred to, at the Port-Cartier Institution in Quebec.

While Millhaven and Collins Bay are fully-operational neighbouring prisons in Kingston, they likely offer no suitable custodial accommodations for the likes of high-profile dangerous offenders. He is also forbidden to speak with the media, including a recent CBC interview that was cancelled by the warden.

Despite these restrictions, however, according to his lawyer Bernardo is exercising regularly and maintaining good health. According to the Toronto Star, Ontario Region communications officer Holly Knowles is stated as saying that allowing media access to Bernardo would "feed" his notoriety, increasing his "grandiose" and "narcissistic" desires.

This decision to prohibit media involvement is directed by Bernardo's personal Offenders Correction Plan , a long-term treatment plan to which every inmate is assigned. In addition, increased media access may also encourage more animosity and instability within Kingston Penitentiary's walls among fellow Bernardo inmates, constituting a security-risk The Toronto Star, 25 June In February of , Bernardo confessed, by correspondence through his lawyer Tony Bryant, for 10 more sexual assaults he had committed but that had been blamed on others.

One of these had occurred in in Guildwood Village, where he had been living with his parents at the time, and another the same year on the University of Toronto campus at Scarbourough. In he sexually assaulted another woman outside a Kennedy Rd apartment complex near the It is now also suspected that Bernardo was involved in the disappearance and death of U of T student Elizabeth Bain in , a point argued by the defence of Robert Baltovich, who was convicted of the murder in Toronto Star 21 February A year before in June, however, a reporter from the Toronto Star, Nick Pron, had the privileged if not illicit opportunity to speak face-to-face with the killer in his cell.

As described by Pron, Bernado's face was white, and his features "blowsy. Their eyes at locked for a long moment, the reporter gazing up at Bernardo in his second-floor cell, before Bernardo disappeared back into the confines of his closet-sized cell. According to Pron, the cell was as close to rotting in jail as the public could hope to imagine The Toronto Star June 21 Juan Corona, who in the early s slashed and hacked to death 25 farm workers before burying them in a shallow grave in a peach orchard near Yuba City, California , has had a transient history of being transferred across California's state prison system.

After originally being recommended for San Quentin, which at the time had facilities for those with heart ailiments such as Corona's, Corona was committed to California Medical Facility in Vacaville in , where he was later stabbed and blinded by another inmate.

Corona was then transported to Correctional Training Facility in Soledad where he stayed for five years, including the period when his retrial was conducted. In he was then transferred to Corcoran, but in suffered another attack in the prison yard.

This time, three other inmates had gained access to the emergency ward that imprisoned Corcoran's most famous killers, including Charles Manson and Sirhan Sirhan, minorily injuring Corcoran and smashing Manson's guitar. According to the Associated Press 16 Mar , California Corrections Department officials said that gaining entrance into the protective housing unit of the prison is a "badge of honor.

When authorities were alerted, a prison guard fired a round from a wood block gas gun, similar to a tear-gas rifle, to quell the disturbance. In , Corona suffered yet another attack that rendered him unconscious in his cell. He was taken to a nearby hospital and placed into intensive care under constant guard supervision.

At 69, Corona is reported as sick with dementia, muttering words to himself as he paces the prison yard. Juan has been denied parole a total of six times, in part because he consistently declined to admit to his murders. Serial-killer and cult-leader Charles Manson was responsible for the deaths of seven people in the late 's, and has been serving time in Corcoran's Protective Housing Unit for most of his institutional sentence.

Now 77 years old, Manson has lived in the California prison system for over 65 years. To reporters and interviewers who have met with him inside prison, many are astounded at the strength of his resolve to live in such harsh conditions. His hobbies include reading, making knotted string art, in which he crafts insects and spiders out of thread he has unravelled from clothing, and playing music.

Anything but a model inmate, Mason was put in protective isolation for manufacturing a weapon inside his cell, was caught twice for possession of a contraband cellphone, and has usually refused to participate in any GED or self-improvement classes.

In April of , the parole board sent only 20 minutes deliberating before denying Manson his 12th request for release. He must wait another 15 years before filing again.
