On December 23, 2014, a Canadian jury ruled that Maniota, a Canadian suspect who killed a Chinese student two years earlier, had been convicted of all five counts and sentenced to life in prison without parole for 25 years. At the time, many Canadian media outlets published lengthy stories and commented that they had been duly punished.

However, in less than three years, Maniota in prison is not repenting and reflecting on his crimes, but "enjoying life". On June 26, local time, he also married a same-sex inmate under the witness of his mother.
It doesn't sound like the murderous maniac has been punished by the law... Take a look at specific reports from the local media:

？？？ There are even dedicated marriage dating sites... The next 2015 Montreal Gazette report on Maniota's life in prison really made people sigh " How can there be such an operation?" ”
Smoothies, suntanning, pizza parties, music, movies, fitness and facials. Hard time seems to suit murderer Luka Magnotta just fine — at least according to his jailhouse letters.
Milkshakes, sunbathing, pizza parties, music, movies, fitness. There are also facials. The murderer, Luca Maniota, was supposed to be struggling in prison, but he actually seemed to be doing just fine. At least from the content of his letters in prison, it is true.
“Our doors are open 90% of the time so for me I feel like I’m in a university setting,” he wrote in one of many letters to a friend.
In a letter to a friend, he said, "Our doors are open 90 percent of the time, so I feel like I'm in college." ”

“I just bought Celine Dion’s album and a lot of others. I have a stereo and a portable for when I suntan outside.”
"I just bought Celine Dion's album and a bunch of other albums. I have a stereo and a portable speaker that I use outdoors while sunbathing. ”
Correctional Service of Canada would not comment on Magnotta specifically, but said in an email to the Sun that inmates are allowed certain amenities such as TVs and stereos. Federal inmates are also allowed to wear their own clothes, “provided they are approved by the institutional head,” a spokesperson wrote.
Canada's Federal Correctional Service said it would not comment specifically on Maniota. But in an email to The Sun, they said inmates in prison had access to some facilities, such as televisions and stereos. A spokesman said federal prisoners can wear their own clothes in prison "as long as they have the approval of the head of the agency."
Exclusive pictures from inside prison show a relaxed Magnotta dressed in casual clothes, including a Versace shirt and stylish sunglasses, with ear buds, surrounded by other inmates, including pedophile Jonathan Lafrance-Rivard.

The pictures also show the killer posing by his artwork and posters, including one of Marilyn Monroe, on the walls of his cell, which looks more like a dorm room.
The photos also show art and posters of the murderer Maniota, which includes Marilyn Monroe, among others. The works and posters hung in his room, making it look like a dormitory.
In his letters, Magnotta, who was born Eric Clint Kirk Newman, describes learning French and outlines many other educational opportunities.
In the letter, Maniota, who had been named Newman, said he was learning French and described other educational opportunities in prison.
As Maniota said, such a prison life is indeed similar to that of a university, and even the facilities and conditions in all aspects far exceed those of ordinary universities. In fact, according to the Observer Network quoted by the Canadian Chinese news website Vancouver Harbor, Canada's prisons have schools, hospitals, libraries and sports facilities, like a fully functional small society. Detainees can read, watch TV, drink coffee, play basketball, use the Internet, party and chat, even get paid jobs, and even participate in vocational training to obtain skills certificates. Low-income prisoners can enjoy some benefits free of charge.

Some prisons are also equipped with high-end modern facilities. For example, the new Toronto South Detention Centre was built at a cost of $600 million (about 3 billion yuan). The living area of this prison is equipped with video phones, indigenous activity rooms, wooden floor basketball courts, outdoor shower facilities and other stylish facilities, and some activity venues can also open the roof, which can be called the "mansion" in the prison.
Such a quality of life can be said to have thrown the ordinary people out of ten streets. But wait... Aren't they prisoners? Because the cost of building these luxurious prisons is borne by taxpayers, it has aroused the resentment of some people.
Maniota is now "enjoying life" in prison, and even found true love and stepped into the palace of marriage, compared to the murder and corpse case that shocked the world five years ago, it is really not "deserved":
(▼ Very cruel, the cowards please read with caution)
The manhunt began after Magnotta murdered and dismembered Lin, 33 in his Montreal apartment in May 2012.
In May 2012, Maniota murdered and dismembered Lin Jun, a 33-year-old Chinese student in his apartment in Montreal, and the hunt began.

The contrast between the tragic deaths of the victims and the daily life of the perpetrators is unacceptable. However, according to reports, Maniota is not the "lucky" of the murderous maniacs. In fact, prisons in many foreign countries are luxurious, and the welfare benefits are so good that they have no friends.
According to the Observer Network, in July 2011, The Norwegian "island killer" Breivik created the oslo shooting explosion that shocked the world, killing 77 people and injuring hundreds of people, most of whom were children. Heinous crimes, heinous, but only sentenced to 21 years in prison. While serving his sentence, Breivik applied to norway's best university, the University of Oslo, where he was admitted and educated in prison. But Breivik complained that the Norwegian prison held him in solitary confinement, which did not comply with the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights, and that he was going to prosecute the state for "torturing" himself.
How did Norwegian prisons "torture" Breivik? According to reports, the prison is notoriously luxurious, with television, kitchen, living room, and bathroom, and it is not an exaggeration to say "paradise". But this still did not satisfy Breivik. Breivik resented the "cold coffee", "the bread was not greased", "the skin care could not be treated with moisturizer", in addition, brushing his teeth every morning, shaving too fast, tv, light switch are set outside the cell, these are all inconvenient.
So, in 2015, the Norwegian government granted Breivik's appeal request. On 20 April 2016, the Oslo District Court in Norway ruled in favour of Breivik, followed by an appeal from the Norwegian government. On January 10, 2017, the second instance trial of Breivik v. the government began, and the suspect performed a Nazi salute in court.
Do ordinary law-abiding citizens in developed countries and high-welfare societies live up to prison standards? Again, the cost of prison is borne by the taxpayer.
When the law can no longer act as a deterrent and sanction to perpetrators, and the cost of crime is very low, where will the whole society go?
Or is it that in the case of severe punishment by the law, the perpetrator is prone to the mentality of "fighting a fish to the death" and making the case more serious?
Such a heavy topic, Xiaobian also wants to hear everyone's views. Message area, waiting for you.
