Not all of Europe. Here in the Netherlands we have the high security prison in Vught where there are no guards during airing time. So the guards put all kinds of nutters, murderers, and psychopaths in a big field together, lock all the gates, and stand on the other side looking. If bad happens, sorry can't do something about it, wouldn't be safe for the guards.
I'm deeply ashamed of this. We Dutch like to be so enlightened and moralistic but this sort of shit really kills it. We need to adopt the Norwegian system.
