Breivik ruled sane, sent to prison.

[-:Undertaker:-]

It´s interesting to read your opinions on this. I´m from Norway, I was actually in Oslo that day.
As many of you have stated already, Breivik will never be a free man - even after 21 years. Imagine him walking down the streets of Oslo, he probably wouldn´t survive for more than 2 minutes. He is truly one of the most hated persons in Norwegian history..

It's a clear failure of a justice system however that mob justice must replace the rule of law when it should be the rule of law which properly punishes criminals.

Btw, this video (By Michael Moore) explains how some of the Norwegian prisons works (Though he tends to exaggerate a bit).

The maximum sentence is 21 years - so that´s why our prisons try to prepare the prisoners for a normal life again. Because their going to be back out on the street one day - so they have to make sure they aren´t a danger to the people any more Every prisoner is treated like an equal human being.
Look at 4:25 to see one of our prisons that prepare prisoner (even killers) for a normal civilized life.

We have that system and it's called 'rehabilitation' and its hailed as a success, however the figures are fiddled as those chosen for 'rehabilitation' are those who are unlikely to re-commit a crime again (ie, pensioners who refuse to pay council tax/those inside for fraud etc). It's a myth that habitual criminals and killers can return to a normal civilised life and besides, justice is fundementally supposed to be about punishment.

Well, maybe because we have such a low criminality rate that our justice system has never had to deal with anything like this before. Maybe the rule of law will change after this, who knows. But as I said, in Norway we give everyone a new chance, we´re only 5 million people. In America for example, this would never work. But Breivik will be locked up somewhere for the rest of his life, I think that´s a decent punishment.

Interesting. Video is Driver takes revenge on second driver, what does that have to do with prisons? D:

I suppose thats true, if and when he is released he won't last in the community for very long.

Why minimum of 10 years :S I think he won't be released after 21 years anyway.
