So here’s an outrageous fact: Thanks to Norway’s extreme “humanitarian” concerns, not only is the death penalty forbidden but criminals can’t even be sentenced to life in prison. Twenty-one years is the maximum sentence.

The psychopath who brutally murdered upwards of 90 people on Friday? 21 years. Plus another 5 years if he’s determined to be a threat by the end of his original sentence. But if he’s not determined to be a threat? 21 years. That’s it.

And here are the conditions he can expect.

I was visiting Bastoey, an open prison 45 miles south of the Norwegian capital. It is home to about 115 detainees, including murderers, rapists and other felons, who enjoy activities not usually associated with prisons.

In summer, they can improve their backhand on the tennis court, ride a horse in the forest and hit the beach for a swim. In winter, they can go cross-country skiing or participate in the prison’s ski-jumping competition.

Inmates work between 8:15 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The island is a farm, so there are cattle to tend, timber to cut and organic crops to grow. Inmates also work at a sawmill, using axes, knives and saws. Another job is to restore wooden houses dotted around the island. Based on their time in Bastoey, many men will obtain professional qualifications.

No wonder he readily admitted to the attacks. He’s going to spend the next 21 years of his life with free health care, food, housing, education, and entertainment. He can ski in winter and hit the beach in summer. All despite the fact he’s killed upwards of 90 people.

What do murderers in Norway have to fear if they’re caught? Heck, it sounds like a better life than most people live on a daily basis. And if you’re 20 when you’re convicted you’ll probably be out by 41. Plenty of time to put those professional qualifications to good use.
