    He wouldn't have got much more than a slap on the wrist if he'd only killed one person. Pretty much the same as here, a few years at best before he'd be out on parole.

    Dont get so hung up on the conditions of Breiviks prison cell.Even if he live to be a hundred years or more,he will never see the outside of the prison again. The reason is simple enough,he must be kept there for his own (and anyone who might be near enough to be accidentally hit) safety. That and the fact no parole board will ever risk turning him loose

    It's anybody's guess whether that's true or not. Even before his 21 years are up, he'll have to be given exactly the same consideration as any other prisoner. So he only has to fake getting over his hatred in say the last 5 years of being incarcerated and they'll have no choice but to let him go. When you've got a system that's so lenient, getting around it shouldn't prove that difficult even for Breivik. So unless Norway changes its laws (even then it probably wouldn't apply to those already in prison), it's very likely that he'll be released in 15 years or sooner if he plays a convincing convert. At worst, I'd expect him to serve the full 21 years but no more than that.

    The sentence is now confirmed,Breivik got 21 years of "keeping". That means he will spend 21 years before being evaluated as still dangerous or not,another 5 years will be added then this will repeat itself until he is dead or to old/sick to be kept in prison. It does not mean he will be free but kept under guard even if he get to spend his last days in a hospital. Sidetracking a bit,new laws are underway to allow for longer sentences for terrorists,up to 30 years against the 21 years imprisonment being the normal maximum. Keeping is for those cases where a criminal is best kept under lock and key for a very long time.Unlike a normal sentence where it is common practise to serve between 66-75% of the sentence(not murderers) the prisoner have to stay in prison for the time the keeping lasts.normally 10 years minimum
    ps. i spent 2 years in a Norwegian prison about 16 years ago and dont really want to return there...ever

    And the media here liked to talk how nice Norwegian prisons are. I guess it's always better to view them from the outside ;) .
