Anders Behring Breivik complains of 'inhumane' conditions. : Fri Nov 09, 2012 5:09 pm  

Anders Behring Breivik who massacred 77 people last year in Norway, majority of which were kids has compiled a 27 page document complaining of conditions in his prison cell. His complaints are: His cell is poorly decorated and he has no view. The handcuffs he wears when being moved around the prison "are too sharp" and "cut in his wrist". The cell is too cold, forcing him to wear three layers of clothes. His coffee is served cold. He does not have enough butter for his bread. He is not allowed moisturiser. He has to rush his morning shave and brushing of teeth. Light and television switches are outside the cell, so he has to ask for help to change channel or sleep. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20270325 So, does he have a point?

I thought this was utterly surreal, TBH.

I can't even understand why it's being reported. It's just another (seemingly successful) attempt to attention grab.

Very good point. Hadn't thought of it that way.

It's a tough balance. If prisoners are to be reintegrated into society, they need to be treated well enough to enable that.

Treating people really harshly and giving them no comforts would likely just give them a mental illness before they were released and leave them bitter and resentful.

If, as in this case, the crime is seen as being so severe that a lifetime in prison is the only possible outcome morally, it really does provide a reason for the death penalty. After all, why spend loads of money on keeping a person imprisoned if you are going to treat them poorly?

Me personally, always disagreed with the death penalty no matter how guilty or good the evidence.
But for the real nasty pieces of work.

A cell with a mat, a pillow, a blanket and a bog, no windows.
1 hour exercise a day, water to drink only
Food being as cheap as possible, Porridge for breakfast (water not milk)
some cheap vegetables and pulses for lunch and dinner, served in your room.

No tv, no nothing, if they go crazy then that's part of the punishment and the reason i'm against the death penalty, i want them to suffer, i want them to get bored of the food and their life until they crack.

Indeed. Shouldn't be given the publicity he clearly craves IMHO.
