Norway mass killer tests limits of lenient justice system (Sickening!)

[Yandex]

STAVANGER, Norway (AP) — Convicted mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik spends his days in a spacious three-room cell, playing video games, exercising, watching TV and taking university-level courses in mathematics and business.

Halfway through a 21-year sentence and seeking early release, Breivik, 42, is being treated in a way that might seem shocking to people outside of Norway, where he killed eight in an Oslo bombing in 2011, and then stalked and gunned down 69 people, mostly teens, at a summer camp.

But here — no matter how wicked the crime — convicts benefit from a criminal justice system that is designed to offer prisoners some of the comforts and opportunities of life on the outside.

Still, Breivik's extreme case is testing the limits of Norway’s commitment to tolerance and rehabilitation.

UNBELIEVABLE!

1. Fortunately there is a provision in Norwegian law

that would allow his sentence to be extended indefinitely in 5 year increments.

Norwegian attitudes in dealing with prisoners failed to recognize that Norwegians too could be victims of monsters.

3. Yeah, he's never getting out

And as far as having some basic comfort in prison, most Western Democracies strive to treat prisoners humanely and give them a chance at rehabilitation.

Even monsters deserve dignity.

America does prison totally wrong and we pay the price with an incredibly high rate of recidivism.

4. I agree that prisoners should be treated humanly.

I don't think that requires a 3 room suite.

5. Shit...

I have only been able to afford TWO ROOMs for the last 30 years. The US has some changing to do if it is to survive.

6. Of course they recognized they could be victims of monsters.

Hence the provision to allow his sentence to be extended indefinitely in 5 year increments.

2. His sentence will be extended multiple times.

7. Un-fucking real gun downed 69 people.

That pos should've been given the death penalty.
