THE LOCAL - Convicted criminals serving life sentences should be restricted from coming into contact with the outside world by using social media to discuss their crimes publicly, said Denmark's Ministry of Justice. That would effectively ban them from activities such as featuring on podcasts or writing about their crimes on social media. Current rules enable prison inmates serving life to write to, call and receive visits from people with whom they have established contact during their sentences. The bill, which would need parliamentary backing to become law, could come into effect on January 1st 2022.
