I think that is probably one of the Supermax Prisons that are designed to maximize isolation.
Wait til you look at his arms.
100% agree. This is not news.
Breivik believes global warming is a hoax, he believes theres a war on Christmas, hates âsecularism,â hates âpolitical correctness,â hates "âmulticulturalism,â wants to restore âChristian culture,â and embraces Pat Buchananâs wildly antisemitic theory about âCultural Marxism.â

No, I mean, I get that his own personal parts are held together by magic and fairy dust (literally, IIRC), but the bandanna isnât part of his body, itâs just sort of perched on top of his torso-part.
Maybe thatâs why the recent games subtly turned it into a hoodie, so it can plausibly be attached to hisâŚtorso-covering.

The day they âreintegrateâ him and put him back with the general population without the advent of armed guards keeping him safe, is the day somebody will disintegrate him, permanently.

This is where it all falls down. Is the prisoner ever going to be allowed out. If not, then keeping him imprisoned is a public health issue.
They have a blanket AND fire?! Are they soft girlie-men?!

Not just in Norway but almost all western european (e.g. Germany, I know 'cause I live there) nations focus on rehabilitation of the prisoner. And we have the silly notion that âequal before the lawâ is one core concept in a democratic nation with the rule of law. So human/civil rights are for all humans not only the ones we deem worthy and therefore even prisoners rights have to be respected. Itâs a slippery slope if you start to make exceptions as Germany learned in itâs recent history. The US should learn from those error too instead of seeing it as some sort of role model (i.e. Guantanamo).
Edit: Should have been a reply to DaHorse not Mindysan33, canât change that apparently

Hmmm - I disagree. Laughing at the piece of shit completely voids his power as the boogeyman.

Yeah, just like Englandâs cultural treatment of Guy Fawkes totally voided any and all power he had, right?
Not like he would later go on to become a pop culture symbol of violent anti-authority resistance or anythingâŚ
Laughing at something doesnât destroy it. Laughter used darkly is a coping mechanism, best reserved for those things which you are powerless to do anything about, and that although you canât fix, you can at least prevent yourself from being consumed by their toxicity.
If instead you want to actually do something about a problematic figure or symbol - if you really want to utterly destroy something - then you need to let it be forgotten, allow it to exit human experience and enter into oblivion. Otherwise, it lingers as a shadow, and no matter how much power you think you rob it of by laughing at it, it can always come back to haunt you later.
This is why the ancients obliterated the names of hated kings and pharaohs and whatnot from all written records they could lay their hands on. Names have power, and speaking a name grants it more power. Every time anyone thinks about the madman in question, every time they reflect upon his senseless violence and his offensive insanity, we surrender another speck of dignity and humanity and peace of mind.
And for what? So newspapers and blogs and radio stations can make some money luring in readers and listeners for their grim spectacle of ghoulish obsessive outrage long enough cut to a commercial. âWeâll have more details on this horrible terrible thing you canât do anything about or hope to change or better in any way, right after these messages from our sponsors! Fear! Consume! Fear! Consume!â

But maybe the Norwegians have something even more diabolical in store. Itâs possible that they are setting him up for a long legal battle over access to the PS3, and only after eventually providing him with one will they disclose that there is now a PS4 and he canât have one.
Heh, itâd be cool if they were artfully driving trollies his sense of entitlement.

Prison LAN parties are the longest.
You mean when people like Breivik were running the country? /sarcasm
Sure⌠doesnât mean itâs not inhuman.

Despite the fact that Norway only allows for 21 years, they can extend a sentence if it seems that the person canât be reintegrated into society or if they would be a threat or threatened. So, I doubt heâll ever get out.

You can see my reply to @pyalot, as that is exactly what they do.
