| The families of the victims can rest assured that this man will spend the rest of his life in an upscale apartment featuring free, quality food and dependable healthcare. |

For the record, I believe that American-style incarceration is a terrible form of justice for criminals who will reenter society during their lifetime. But I'm pretty sure this post is about Breivik and Norway...
You see, short of going 1984 on him, Norway isn't going to "rehabilitate" Breivik into abandoning his political views. Oh, and even if "rehabilitated", he will never be released anyway (if convicted). So I do think it's absurd to treat him the same way as a burglar who could be rehabilitated, taught a job skill, and reintegrated into society. |

Yes, but I don't think that they should change their laws, or how they do things, just for one man. Clearly their system is fairly effective, and I think that to change from rehabilitation to retribution just because some prisoners can not be rehabilitated is impractical. |
