Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man convicted of incest and rape after holding his daughter captive for 24 years and fathering seven children with her, has been granted a conditional transfer from a prison psychiatric unit to a regular prison. The 88-year-old, who has changed his name, was pictured for the first time in 15 years as he made a bid for parole. During the process, Fritzl was 'close to tears' and expressed that he was 'incredibly sorry' for his crimes. His lawyer informed reporters about the Austrian court's decision after the hearing, which includes psychotherapy conditions. The transfer could eventually lead to Fritzl's release to a nursing home, as he plans to request release from prison altogether next year.
