I have been told custody is one of the Strictest punishment in the Danish criminal code
A friend gave me a link to an article about the different between these to type of punishment
(Used google translate)
Custody:
Indefinite custody equals prison indefinitely. This means that the convicted person does not know how long he will sit locked up, he can not get unaccompanied output can not be released on parole and can not apply for a pardon. custom is that people in custody minimum sitting, the equivalent of a fixed-term sentence. Thus, custody is the strictest punishment in the Danish Criminal Code, and in the preparation of the law it is emphasized that custody should only be used to a very limited extent
Lifetime:
A person who gets life imprisonment can not be released on parole, but be pardoned by the Queen. In practice, however, it is the Minister of Justice, which refers to lifetime prisoners on application. If a person is convicted in life, he will usually be pardoned after about 12 years. The average time for confinement of lifespan is 15 years and 3 months
The article was from 2004, but there haven't been much change in these laws since then.
