Well it's not that bad. I don't see the use of keeping someone detained for that long for no reason. It's not even jail after 5 years, it's home and routine. You'd be amazed at how flexible people's concepts of home are.
You might find this surprising but I actually find this very logical on the Dutch parliament's part. If you're not gonna torture or execute these people as punishment then you might as well turn them into desent members of society. I think staying in jail for the rest of your life is pretty easy living anyways. You have no responsibilities, you get to read you get to lie down and if you're lucky.......
