A Swedish man who brutally murdered his girlfriend with an axe and stashed her body in a basement for four months is loving life in prison. Bjorn Olsen thinks being behind bars is “amazingly good.”

Olsen is “extremely satisfied” with his life behind bars, and told a relative, “It’s actually amazingly good how we have it here,” in a letter obtained by Expressen.

“It’s like you’d almost rather be here than free on the outside,” Olsen wrote. “So it’s nice here, it’s pretty cushy. Good gym. Nice food. Totally OK job where you work with ceramics.”

Olsen killed his girlfriend Therese Palmkvist with an axe outside Hedemora in Dalarna in 2016, and stashed her body under a carpet in the basement for four months. He took off and hid in a caravan in the woods and was found a week after Palmkvist’s body was discovered.

Olsen was sentenced to 16 years in prison and put in a special request to be sent to a facility where he could be around other men who had killed their wives and girlfriends.

Apparently, there are many in Sweden along with the other Nordic countries. The Nordic Paradox is the fact that Nordic countries Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland, which are the most politically progressive countries in the world, have some of the highest rates of spousal abuse in the west. This is a paradox, a source of great confusion, to those who think far-left  (progressive) liberalism is a good thing.

There is, indeed, need for changes in most societies. A need for more equality between men and women. A need for more protections for children who are virtually voiceless, and who often suffer the consequences of man's stupidity and evil. But, the Nordic Paradox is a clear indictment that the current model of progressive society is way out of whack.

He is serving his sentence in the maximum security Hall Prison outside Södertälje. 

Olsen told his relative he gets to “play guitar, drums, piano, go to the gym, watch films, read books, study maths and stuff,” inside the prison, and can “just chill.”

As wonderful as his prison experience sounds, Olsen lamented the fact that he doesn’t have a Playstation and he asked his relative if they could send him a “a porn magazine or two.”

Awww. I'm sure if you complain to the authorities they will take pity on you and provide you with some nice PS games where you can practice killing people, and maybe even get some kiddie porn.
