Mass murderer Breivik will avoid prison?

And no, European prisons aren't awesome. They're made so that you will prevent doing illegal actions when you're released. And, you know, that means you won't have contact with the outside world. No computer, no radio, no cellphone, nothing. You will have the possibility to get visited at most 1 hour every week. And yeah, you're allowed to send and receive letters, but that's about it.

You definitely aren't talking about Finnish prisons then. Over here you will get free food (actually more money is used on prisoners food than the free food in SCHOOLS) and you can even play playstation in prison or study for a job. You can work in prison for about an euro/hour, you can then use that money to buy stuff like food, cigarettes, coffee and some other small products. Every prisoner has the right to go out with a guard daily and you can easily get a place in open prison where you can do almost anything, if you behave well for few years. You can also easily escape from the open prison, like this triplemurderer called Nikita Fouganthine did less than a week ago. Now the police is unable to find him and say that he's probably not much danger for people. This guy killed 3 swedes and has escaped the prison 6 times before. Maybe this gives you an image of what our prisons are like.

And it's true what you said about the intetion of prison here. But it isn't really working in Finland. I know way too many cases where Finnish killers have killed someone few years after they got out.

But note that the prisons are very different between countries in Europe. North Europe is definitely the most gentle place for prisoners, looks like Finland has the worst system.

However, if Breivik will spend rest of his life in some kind of madhouse, then I think that's a lot "better" (note the sarcasm) for him than the prison. He could even make some new friends, like Scofield did in Prison Break:



Even though if Breivik were to be in prison, he would be dead in a week...
