That is adding insult to injury for the families of the victims.

Your statement regarding Norwegian prison philisophy is incorrect - do you have a link to support that point....humane prison treatment and rehabilitation that forms the bedrock of the Scandinavian penal system.
The Norwegians don't believe punishment serves any purpose.
Could you expand on your point of family and or community justice and what constitutes humane treatment?I disagree. While I also support humane prison treatment and rehabilitation, I also believe that justice requires an element of punishment, when the crime has victims. This nutjob deliberately and maliciously killed people. The victims should be able to decide what his punishment would be from a variety of "humane" options. Certainly his victims should be able to seize all of nutjob's assets.
Norway also has the highest per capita gun ownership in western Europe and the lowest murder rate.
The Norwegians took a good look at their country and decided that they were doing a good job of it.
They saw Breivik and realized that even their society was not proof against the creation of monsters.
They shook their heads and stoically moved forward with a society that the majority of the world looks up to.
To Norway, justice is not vengeance. Their refusal to change one of the world's best justice systems because of a single event is all the more noble because of the atrocity of that event.
But due to this murderous rampage they are also considering changing a Life Prison Sentence from the max which I believe is presently 20 years to a longer term. Spain I think is 30.
Thanks for the info. Maybe that is why they consider the ward option; do you know if they have limits to the time a person can be held as criminally insane?
No I won't. Please read the link in the opening post which is where I copied that statement.Your statement regarding Norwegian prison philisophy is incorrect - do you have a link to support that point.

No limit... until the person is deemed no longer a threat to society.Thanks for the info. Maybe that is why they consider the ward option; do you know if they have limits to the time a person can be held as criminally insane?

Also, most Canadians still don't know why nutjob murdered all these people and who influenced him. The answer is in nutjob's manifest and its been discussed at length here:
