I have to admit the Norwegian maximum security cell is rather luxurious, comparing it to the American equivalent. I think the Yanks have a good idea with their Supermax prisons, very utiliterian, minimum exposure to the outside and total solitary confinement.

Let's not hold us up as the model example of corrections systems. Just look at our incarceration rate per capita. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...#United_States and http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/h...l/nn2page1.stm). Something should be said for good rehabilitation, and not just punishment.



The man is allowed to have his grievance, the court will hear it and promptly dismiss it. "But what about your victims" was my first thought too, but if we start to ignore the laws based on personal opinions, then we are no better than him.

You cannot avoid to get challenged in life. But you can refuse to waver. So walk on, nothing to see here, nothing important happened...

Some are.

As of 2010 about 15% of the inmates under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Prisons are in facilities operated by third parties. Most of them are in facilities operated by private companies.

Most though are government run via the FBP.

Breivk has his rights and should be allowed excercise. However I have to admit that I wouldn't mind if key got lost... but that is good reason why I don't have and should never have any say on this kind of issues...

That is good system for prisoners who are in "storage" rather than in "rehabiliiation".

What about State prisons and county(?) jails?

EDIT: Just to add. Here in Finland court proceedings are public unless there is good reason for closed doors. This as far I understand it is determined by presiding judge(s).

Indeed, it's best for the worst of the worst.

I think they'd probably come under their local state government, not sure if it devolves as far down as county level like the police does though, might well do.

Yes, Breivik should have his rights. However in some cases including this one, there could be certain jurisdictional approaches for specific cruelties, without threatening democracy and fair trials in general.

Judge not so you will not be judged, alright, but i agree with kraznyi_oktjabr it's good that I do not have any say in this respect as well..

They should be forgotten, because every moment that they are remembered is more than they deserve.
