I disagree.
Keeping him alive sends a message to every right wing nut out there that it doesn't matter how many children you massacre beause you'll be kept alive in a humane norwegian prison for the rest of your life as a symbol to all your followers.

The claimed deterrence from the death penalty is to give pause to would-be murderers such that they don't actually commit murder. Putting Breivik to death obviously does not serve as a deterrent to Breivik's past crimes and, while it can ensure that future crimes also do not occur, so can putting him in prison.

Putting him away immediately would put him out of people's minds and send a signal to anyone who wants to achieve notoriety that there is nothing there but finality and obscurity. Instead he keeps re-appearing in media whenever he complains or tries to get a case going. And even if he didn't, his followers till know he's there and can continue praising him for his sick ideas.
