In practice he'll have a life sentence. After 21 years, they'll "review his case" every year or so and always conclude that he should stay in prison.

Yah, prisoners considered especially dangerous can get this extra clause on their sentence which works pretty much like that, with periodic reviews to see if it's reasonable to let them out yet. In this dickhead's case it's going to be "what, is it that time again already? ...well, gently caress that guy for another couple of years, next order of business?"

It sounds like mostly the inhumane treatment stuff referred to what he claimed to be excessive searches of his person and excessive restraints when moving from cell to cell and the courts more or less agree that if there isn't a reason to put handcuffs and search him constantly then they shouldn't be doing it just to remind him he's a second class citizen. Which honestly seems okay to me if he's been a cooperative prisoner and there's no real evidence he plans on going out in a blaze of glory fighting the guards.

Didn't see the playstation mentioned at all in the article op linked but it seems like kind of a dumb point anyways. Iirc there's been several stats showing giving prisoners decent entertainment keeps em calm and docile so w/e if video games make jails more humane and decreases security concerns then by all means give them an xbone.

You will notice that the rear end in a top hat is in fact being treated more or less according to due process, having the details of his incarceration looked at and so forth. As opposed to being, I dunno, hit over the head with a shovel and dumped in the marshes or something.

I think the argument all these dirty hippies are making is that you shouldn't sink to his level.

I'm of the opinion that if there is no question of guilt, and he is never going to get out anyway, he should probably be put to death. He is a danger to society, and a drain on the resources, and no benefit is gained by his continued existence. If there is a chance of him ever walking free in the future, then his current conditions aren't too bad.

If you actually do the math it's generally more costly to perform an execution, not even getting into the question of if it's ethical or should we entrust a demonstrably fallible justice system with the power to kill, or what psychological hazards exist for the staff performing the execution.

It might bother you that a cold-blooded murderer like Brevik is lounging in a dorm room playing Crazy Taxi but I guess you should take joy in the fact that he'll live and die under lock and key and constant surveillance and is no longer a threat to anyone.

Eh. Not a power the state should be allowed to have. Even if you philosophically grant that there are some cases where putting a prisoner to death would be morally justified beyond a doubt, such cases are pretty loving rare in the first place and the utility value of letting such worst-case statistical outliers define policy is questionable. Dude does not represent an actual danger to society and it's not exactly as if he has a bunch of followers working to spring him from prison and having him lead some kind of revolution or something.

I have to be honest, I hate the fucker and my reptile brain wouldn't mind choking the life from him, but... my higher-order brain would rather have a historian's revenge; let him become an obscure and irrelevant footnote, let him live long enough to see that happen.

Doesn't actually bother me, I just see it as wasteful.

From everything I have seen and heard, the reason its usually more expensive to execute someone is the appeals process, since most systems automatically appeal the sentence over and over until every appeal is exhausted(which is generally a good thing). In cases like this, where the accused is actively proud of being a mass murderer, and all evidence points to it clearly being him, I don't know that this should be an issue.

As for the psychological damage, I can see 2 routes. The old firing squad technique(20 guys shooting, most have blanks so no one actually knows who killed him), or just hire a Texan executioner(I think we still have one or 2) who has the job because it allows him to live out his murder fantasies legally, without hurting innocents.

Executions should be vanishingly rare, but there ARE cases where it is warranted, and this is one, imo.

If cases where they are warranted are vanishingly rare, why even have executions? Why build that potential for egregious error into the system? What do we lose letting a vanishingly small number of very sick people die in dorm rooms, and what would we gain by hastening the process?

The most likely scenario where this rear end in a top hat is released is if he becomes old and decrepit enough to be incapable of being any kind of threat. Straight from the prison to the nursing home, more or less.

Also consider what kind of incompetent rear end-clowns we can sometimes have in charge of the justice department and whatnot. Better to just not have this in the toolbox.
