So, in 1989, when communism ended in Poland, Polish legal system had a death penalty, with the next most serious penalty being 25 years of imprisonment (like many European legal systems, Polish legal system does not allow for successive imprisonment for similar crimes, only concurrent imprisonment).
In 1989, a death penalty amnesty was passed and the death penalty was abolished but until few years later noone thought about introducing life imprisonment. So by law, those sentenced to death penalty and awaiting execution in 1989 got their sentence automatically commuted to 25 years of imprisonment. There were about 100 of them and they were serial killers who were not deemed capable of resocialisation.
In 2014 they are all coming out of prison and there is no legal way of keeping them in.
POLANDBALL CANNOT INTO LEGISLATION. :(
Quick, re-elect the peasants, they'll find some grossly illegal method of keeping them in prison.
WTF? What do you need so many serial killers for?
100 serial killers? How many Poles are there?

Not as many as there could be.

In a few years there will be many less once these guys get their groove back.
You can have them all involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital.
Or you could just not worry about it because they'll all emigrate anyways. Hooray for the EU!
I don't think anyone on languish will be surprised to learn that Poles know jackshit about the law.

These are Polish serial killers. They'll probably off themselves by mistake.

LULZ, "bronzed".
I suspect Poland considers serial pet killers and contract killers as "serial killers". It's doubtful there are even that many serial killers in the US, which is the hub of serial killing.

This is Marti. He's a Polack. Polacks count "one, two, three, one hundred!, eleventy-hundred!"
So it's really just four or five people in non-Polack-speak, about as you would expect.
