    Very interesting case here... I actually agree that solitary confinement is not humane. In fact, I think the death penalty is more humane that solitary confinement because it is a form of torture in my opinion. Humans are social by nature and taking away human contact for long periods of time can literally drive people insane.


    OSLO — He lives in a three-room suite with windows, about 340 square feet, that includes a treadmill and other exercise equipment, a fridge, a DVD player, a Sony PlayStation and a desk with a typewriter. He has been taking distance-learning courses at his country’s main university. He has access to television, radio and newspapers. He prepares his own food, and he entered the Christmas gingerbread-house baking contest at his prison.

    Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian extremist who was convicted of killing 77 people in a bomb and gun rampage in 2011, returned to court on Tuesday to pursue his claim that his solitary confinement — albeit in cushy cir stances — violates his human rights.

    The hearing, at which Mr. Breivik gave a Nazi-style salute, has been accompanied by a new round of grief and outrage over the attacks, the deadliest violence in Norway since World War II.

    They can extend the sentence under the current law. It's a totally different approach to the criminal justice system.

    Is that article real, or a revived old false story?

    A typewriter...

    It would not be the first time the New York Slimes was wrong about a story...

    is that all you got from that? That the NYT might have allegedly mis-reported a typewriter?

    Actually, I took the opportunity to make fun of the Slimes...

    It's real. What makes you think it's fake? Norway's criminal justice system is totally different. It's all about rehabilitation.

    I don't even know what you are trying to say. Did you really consider that to be a sick burn or something?
