WTH? Josef Fritzl offered counselling 'to cope with trial'

[Ed Mahmoud]

Josef Fritzl, who raped his daughter Elisabeth more than 3,000 times during the 24 years he imprisoned her in a cellar, has been offered counselling to help cope with the trauma of his ongoing trial.

The eight jurors heard how Fritzl forced his daughter to fulfill his sexual fantasies after making her watch pornographic films.

In her pre-recorded evidence, Elisabeth, now 42, said Fritzl would bring boxes of sexually explicit videos into the cellar and then order her to re-enact certain scenes.

The rape sessions would last for hours and Elisabeth eventually stopped resisting because she knew her life was in danger if she did not co-operate, the court was told.

In the tapes, Elisabeth alleged that Fritzl had ignored her ailing newborn son Michael in 1996 and then disposed of the child’s body in a stove after he had died.

Fritzl is being asked to reply to the allegations made in each segment of the tape.

The self-confessed incest rapist is being held at St Poelten prison, next to the court, and its vice president Erich Huber-Gunstofer said his most famous incumbent was being offered psychiatric support.

"He is being offered psychiatric care to help him through the ordeal of the trial," he said.

"He can watch television because he has access to TV in the communal areas and he can also read the daily newspapers.

"He has told us that he doesn't want to exercise in the yard during the trial but he can do afterwards if he wants to.

"He has two people to protect him at all times. They don't discuss the trial with him but we are offering him therapists and he does share a cell with two other inmates.

"There is no special treatment for Josef F."

Yea im waiting for Ortt and Catergory 5 to chime in here because if I do things may get a bit brutal..

[Derek Ortt]

he needs a vacation... to Buchenwald. Maybe even Mauthausen

That would give him a few years of good old fashioned hard time and all the support he needs...

[Ed Mahmoud]

I don't know how Austrian prisons work, but he'd either be in solitary confinement or his fellow inmates would kill him in this country.


Something is seriously wrong with Europe, when rapists get counselling to help them deal with the trauma of a court trial.

Put him in a wood chipper feet first. Nah, scratch that! I say a life time of hard labor.

They should put him in a dark room. everyday and man comes in and cuts off one of his body parts, and thats all the food he gets.

nah... we should at least get all the free labor out of him that we can

seriously, reopen Mauthausen, no joking. Just use the Ortt Standard of 16 hour work days and 750 calories of food (11 hours and 1750 is too good for these criminals) It's in Austria. That is the level of prison that these types of criminals require.

Fit it to his crime, on top of everything, someone comes in every night and rapes him repeatedly.

this type of person would enjoy that too much, cat 5

in addition to the conditions I described, we can not forget about the required 25 lashed with a whip for each and every mistake he makes on the job, or infraction of the prison/camp rules

and make the conditions and plkace KNOWN to the public. That may deter crime somewhat. Nobody (at least with any type of sanity left) would be downright afraid of spending time in Mauthahusen under the Ortt prison conditions
