iirc, his sentence was @20 years, not life.
- panzer_wyrm 9y agoIt is effectively life. In 20 years they will have to consider releasing him or locking him for 20 more. And on and on.
- ourmandave 9y agoThe maximum sentence is 21 years, but they can renew it every 5 years forever.
- lb1lf 9y ago-I can't remember off-hand what his sentence was in years, but we have a form of sentencing for criminals being deemed extra dangerous to society called 'forvaring' (literally - 'safekeeping'). If sentenced under this statute, your case will be up for review by a board after a few years; if they find that the inmate is still likely to pose a danger to society, they'll just shrug and say 'tough luck', then schedule another review in a couple of years time. No worries. Breivik is not being released anytime soon.
