And I honesty doesn't think americans could try to "lecture" we in Norway when it come to our Justice system - it works for us - and most people leave prison as better persons... The maximum penalty under Norwegian law IS 21 year - but as I have tried to explain, and others have doing true wikipedia links - we can hold people also after they are had their 21 year behind bars in a prison system if the society at large mean them to be a danger to them self - or to others. And for some reason I doubt Breivik will be given his freedom even after 21 year behind prison wall. I hope they will hold him in prison, either to he is not a danger to himself or to others, that means to old to be any danger.. Or that he is dead or in a hospital at the end of his time.. Our system is maybe not perfect - but I would rather sit the rest of my natural life in a cell in Norway, than in the US where half the prison population have mental defects - and where rape and murder of prisoners is a every day accurance... And where even Prison Guards are into drug rings who supply the cartels with drug inside the prison...

But I guess, building great prisons, who hold 10 percent at your population in shackles at all times is better. In that think, you are worse than both Russia and China - and put people behind bars on a far lover bar than most european nations Will ever do. If anything, it is the US who could learn one or two things about treating their prisoners from other corners of the world.. Then the fallback from the criminals might aslo bli less than it is today...
