Prison sentences

So there's a controversy in Iceland right now about a guy who was friends with the father of the prime minister. He raped his five year old daughter for twelve years and was sentenced to five years. His friend was writing a character letter to get his record expunged. But you know my top take away was, what the hell is he doing out of prison after only five years?

So then I'm trying out this new podcast ear hustle, broadcast from prison. The two hosts are doing 15 and 30 years respectively for armed robbery. "31 year to life for attempted second degree robbery."  But you know my top takeaway was, what the hell is he doing in prison for thirty years?

But you know, not to be reductive but I bet you can guess one of the differences between the two.
