Mass murderer Breivik to apply for parole: report

OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik will seek to apply for parole, his lawyer told daily VG on Wednesday.

The far-right extremist killed eight people with a bomb in Oslo and shot dead 69 others on an island nearby, many of them teenagers attending a Labour Party youth camp in July 2011, in what is Norway's worst peacetime atrocity.

He is serving Norway's maximum sentence of 21 years, which can be extended indefinitely.

While Breivik is eligible to seek parole after serving the first ten years of his term, a date he will reach in July 2021, it is up to the courts to determine whether a release is appropriate.

He's in a Norwegian prison, which are for all intents and purposes nothing more than involuntary Summer Camps for adults, so I don't feel the least bit guilty if he never sees another day as a free man. He's already living far better than he ought to.

I don't think Breivik should ever again take a breath as a free man, but these built-in reviews seem far more humane than our penal system.
