I think in many European countries the maximum prison sentence is about 20-25 years, even for the worst crimes and even for multiple crimes combined, because they are usually not combined at all. Only the highest sentence is taken into account. There&#x27;s no such thing as 200+ year prison sentences in Europe because you combine 15 offenses.<p>I don&#x27;t even know what&#x27;s the point of such sentences. Is it for PR purposes? &quot;Look at us, we gave Osama Bin Laden 1,200 years in prison! Aren&#x27;t we tough?!&quot; Because it makes no sense to me. Just like it makes no sense to get a few years for rape or murder but be <i>even charged</i> with 30+ years for some online crimes.
