"Norway Mass Killer Gets the Maximum: 21 Years" by Mark Lewis in The New York Times canvasses Norway's infamous Anders Behrins Breivik. who was sentenced to twenty-one years in prison, earlier this week. He is known for killing over seventy helpless victims, during a shooting attack, in July, 2011. Sentencing a murderer twenty-one years in prison is considered to be a tremendously unusual and counterproductive punishment in America; however, Norway looks upon America's justice system as overbearingly castigating. Norway is a country that emphasizes on morals encompassing nonviolence and benign authorization. In fact, they abolished the death penalty and believe prison is a place where one is afforded the chance to rehabilitate. Distinctly, Mr. Breivik will have the fabulous luxury of living in a three cell-suite of rooms furnished with numerous gadgets and exercise equipment. Also, surprisingly a bizarre amount of parents , whose children fell victim to the Norway Massacre, are very please with the verdict. Nevertheless, Mr Breivik's statement about killing more persons if bestowed the opportunity, supposedly persuaded the judges to make Mr. Breivik's releasing, most unlikely. According to the judges, he will be detained there by perpetually extending his sentence by five years.
