breiviks sentenced to lifetime in jail.

[Gandalf]

Gandalf I am sorry but your wrong this time :redface:

He was sentenced as sane with 21 years in prison with extensions, 10 years minimum.
After the 21 years he can request to get out from the prison, most likely he wont so by then he will need to wait another 5 years to request again.
And so on it goes untill one day he MIGHT get out, or he will sit locked for the rest of hes life, thats how our jail system works with the "extensions" added to it.

It's hard today to say how Breivik will be in twenty years, but he claimed in hes manifest that he would continue hes "work" also in the prison.
The primary rules with the prison plus extensions is that the person, yes will most likely get out in the society one day, lifetime is VERY unlikely.

And to the ones critizing our court system and prisons, we have the most humane prison systems yes, but the best as the criminals who get out are the chances very low that they will repeat the crime, therefor better.

Read your own words: 10 years minimum.
So there is a chance that if the judges and health care workers decide he is no longer a threat to society in 10 years he will be released. 
Remember that in Norway jail is not seen as a method for revenge, but for the convict to show remorse and prepare to return to society. With the connections and intelligence Breivik has, 10 years is more likely than 30.

Haha intelligence? More like insanity!
And our groverment guaranteed that he would MOST likely never get out..
We'll see in a ten year period, because whatever happends he will be killed if he gets out.

I think that prison would convince more Norweigns to follow Breiviks footsteps and shoot/bomb 69 people.

holy shit, that prison is as nice as living free. what kind of prison do these people run...

#3. Norway Reforms Convicts by Giving Them Insane Amounts of Freedom

The Plan:

U.S. prison system is far from perfect, but it's not like we have better options. Plus, the criminals totally deserve to rot in jail, with all the punishments and confinement and horrible food the judicial system can throw at them. The criminal element has to be punished somehow, and every country in the civilized world agrees that criminals should be dealt with in this way.

Except, that is, for Norway. They have come up with a prison system that actually treats the vast majority of its population nicely -- to the point that it seems like inmates might as well be in summer camps rather than correctional facilities. In Bastoy Prison, for example, residents (don't call them "prisoners" -- that's not sensitive) sentenced there actually seem to live the good life. Convicted pedophiles, drug dealers and even serial killers have access to a movie theater, tanning beds and even an occasional game of football with the guards.


During the summer, Norwegian prisoners go horseback riding and have barbecues. In winter, they freaking ski jump. And if they don't like the food the prison offers them, they're allowed to cook for themselves -- they're even issued knives.

And then there's Halden Prison. It's the second-largest prison in Norway, yet overcrowded cells that smell of feces and man-rape are nowhere to be found. Instead, the prison smells like orange sherbet of all things, and has a sound studio, jogging trails and a two-bedroom house where prisoners' families can spend time visiting.

See? This is what you get when you put a bunch of bleeding hearts in charge. With no deterrent in place, crime is probably through the roof!

How It Worked:

Extremely well, actually.

Norway has an incredibly low recidivism rate -- within two years of being released from jail, a Norwegian offender is only a third as likely to commit another crime as criminals from, say, the United States.

This is because unlike the U.S. justice system, which relies heavily on retribution, the Norwegian system believes in rehabilitation. The whole point of their prison system is to fix the criminal and turn him into a productive member of society. And, when you look at the statistics, it's working like there is no tomorrow. It's weird, it's almost like the shankings and man-rape in American prisons aren't teaching criminals to walk the straight and narrow.


And although teaching criminals how to behave in society by allowing them to live in relative comfort might insult our sense of justice, think which one you'd rather face on a dark alley: a person who served his sentence in a Norwegian prison, or one who rotted his term in the piss-soaked hellhole that is a U.S. prison and was then thrown back into the bright, normal world, wary and blinking?

Right.

Do you believe everything your government tells you ? 
If people are seriously threatening to kill him, expect that the Government will pay for a protection program.

I assume Norway doesn't have much(if any) violent street gangs?
