No, he is held "Indefinitely", once the 21 years (more likely 13-14 years) he's up for evaluation. Seeing how he's continued his own radicalization in jail instead of being rehabilitated, nobody has a serious expectation that he'll ever be let out.

It's one of those "We don't throw people in jail for life because we're scandinavians, we rehabilitate them!" to maintain the nice image but then we throw people in jail for life anyways.

Well that is good to hear I guess. I hate the idea that he has the possibility for parole.

He is also being waited on hand and foot. I don’t think US prison conditions are ideal, but his conditions are amazing.

Now now, Norwegian prisons aren't a cakewalk. A few years after he got sentenced he complained about only having a Playstation 2 instead of 3.

Sentenced to last-gen Playstation is cruel.
