As I read, I thought they kept him from other prisonersbecause of what they would do to him....but noit is feared what he will do to them....a society in Norway that softly kisses a mass murderer of children...seems these days children always get the short end of the stick...can you imagine if this man nuked the island.....same punishmentWhat foolish world allows murderers to live and breath and work on self happiness...after taking that opportunity from others....Death for murderers is not wrong, people...it is simply a banishment to the next world that says:  You won't ever hurt anyone again--and justice is so important for those who died and their loved ones who remain behind.Move them on to the next world and stop using all of our resources ...to see how come....or what they need...... 

I doubt he can escape from prison by using a cell mate as a hostage, otherwise� �everybody would be doing it! solitary confinement is inhumane, i agree; the reason the US do it is because they are immoral and unforgiving(strange from a country of so called Christians). solitary confinement can really mess with your head, if in theory the system will let this guy out one day then he should be able to socialise otherwise he wont be able to communicate when he gets out. The US are unduly hard on criminals, they even made a show which entrapped paedophil es(it was disgusting)! I wouldn't be surprised if their jails were adequately re presented by the film Scum!

@Victoria Lie: As I said, 'Unless of course the authorities realise he should never be released'. Whether it's 21, 22 or 30 years, there is the possibility, given his age, that Breivik would be released under Norway's current sentencing policy. An exception could be made in this case for a whole life tarrif, which seems likely. Why are you annoyed?
