→Charges, investigation, and conviction
On August 24, 2012, a five-judge panel declared him sane and guilty, and sentenced him to a 21-year prison sentence, but which can be extended for as long as he's considered dangerous to society. Legal experts said that likely means he will be locked up for life. In his final words, Breivik insolently regretted not killing more people, apologizing to other "militant nationalists" for not achieving an even higher death toll. Neither the prosecution or the defense indicated they would appeal.<ref>http://townhall.com/news/politics-elections/2012/08/24/norway_killer_to_face_sentence_for_massacre</ref>

Conservative media has called attention to Breivik's plush prison conditions. Although being in solitary confinement, his prison compound consists of three personal cells, with one being for living, one for studying, and a third unit for physical exercise. Breivik is able to do his own laundry and cook, while the study cell contains personal computer, not connected to the Internet, and a television and a Playstation 2. Breivik threatened to go on a hunger strike if it was not upgraded to a Playstation 3. In April, 2016, an Oslo court ruled that his solitary confinement and undressed searches constituted a breach of human rights.<ref>http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/04/20/all-the-fun-things-anders-breivik-can-do-in-his-inhuman-prison.html</ref>
