Anders Behring Breivik's prison conditions 'inhumane'

The Norwegian convicted of the massacre of 77 people last year has said he is being held in "inhumane" conditions.

Anders Behring Breivik complained in a letter to the prison service that his coffee is served cold, he does not have enough butter for his bread, and he is not allowed moisturiser.

Breivik is serving a minimum 21-year sentence for the bombings and shootings in Oslo and Utoeya island last July.

The Norwegian authorities have not commented on the letter.

However his lawyer has confirmed that the details of the 27-page document leaked to Norway's VG newspaper are authentic.

"I highly doubt that there are worse detention facilities in Norway?

Anders Breivik
Breivik is being held in almost complete isolation - 23 hours a day, he says - at Ila prison outside Oslo.

His cell includes three sections, one to sleep, one for study and a third for exercise - each measuring 8 sq m (86 sq ft).

In the letter, he complains that the cell is poorly decorated and has no view.

"I highly doubt that there are worse detention facilities in Norway," he writes.

'Too cold'

Among his other complaints are:

the handcuffs he wears when being moved around the prison "are too sharp and "cut in his wrist"
the cell is too cold, forcing him to wear three layers of clothes
he has to rush his morning shave and brushing of teeth
light and television switches are outside the cell, so he has to ask for help to change channel or sleep.
Ila is an all-male institution which "houses some of the country's most dangerous men", its website says.

However it differs markedly from other maximum security jails in western Europe. The staff is a half-and-half mix of men and women and none are armed.

Breivik massacred 77 people, most of them teenagers at a youth camp run by Norway's governing Labour Party.

His 21-year sentence can be indefinitely extended for as long as he is considered a danger to society.

And here people are bitching that the lady that drives on the sidewalk of a daycare to get around a school bus that's stopped and dropping off kids is wronged by having to stand on the corner with a sign saying "Idiots drive on sidewalks" = cruel and inhumane punishment.

But seriously - the death penalty is bad how....?

'Too cold'

86sq ft x 3, that is a pretty decent size apartment for a single person, over here a family of 4 or 5 hardly live in an apartment for over 500sq ft.

Cold? as least he don't need to worry about the need of an A/C unit.

If someone is martyrzed by being sentenced to death, especially by any "followers" (not just in their own eyes) then maybe it's best just to lock them up.

This is just a symptom of reality sinking in for Breivik. The trial is over, and the press has moved on. He is not front page news anymore. The army of followers never materialized, and his Arian revolution isn't going to happen. He is slowly sinking into obscurity and his narcissistic mind can't deal with it, so he will do anything to try and get some press again.

Let him rot in there - being ignored is far worse than death for him. I am actually a little annoyed that the press decided to give him a pulpit for his petty complaints.

By the way, Ila was originally named Grini and was a German concentration camp during world war 2 when Norway was occupied.
