Control Psychosis

"If it wasn't for the fact that I am an exceptionally patient person, I would most likely have lost my mind in pure frustration.  Anyway, there are limits to what a person can take.
"Use of a toothbrush and electric shaver is always under supervision.  One is therefore under mental pressure to finish quickly..."
Anders Behring Breivik

Norwegian convicted mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik doesn't much appreciate the specially-funded and -built prison wing tailored to his very specific needs in living out his state punishment of life imprisonment for the murder of 77 Norwegians, many of them young adults, in an horrific attack of prolonged terror and anguished slaughter.

Mr. Breivik is a careful, methodical man who likes to plan everything out to the last degree of possibilities to ensure the best possible outcome.  His very particular mental state of preparedness and alignment to a covenant he laid out in his mind in a demonstration of his superior intelligence and massive resentment against the incursion of orderly life in his country by a disorderly foreign rabble was clear enough for the jury that convicted him.

He has now, in utter frustration, written a 27-page letter to Norwegian authorities in the prison in which he is being held.  That would be the prison authorities who so vaunt the level of their humanitarian impulse in providing this man with well-designed premises including a home office, private bathroom and separate bedroom, to make him feel wholly well tended and cared for.

Clearly, this man is an ingrate of the first order.  For he likens his premiere facilities to "a mini Abu Ghraib".  Inmates at Abu Ghraib, we are led to be informed, enjoy first-rate movie facilities on a regular basis.  Mr. Breivik has access to first-rate gym facilities to ensure his physical fitness and well-being match the state of his mind.

However, he is overcome with irritation at the lack of co-operation of the guards whose duty it is to accommodate his various activities, for they appear to be lacking adequate motivation to respect his carefully planned daily schedule, and that is obviously an intolerable situation.  In fact, Mr. Breivik will not tolerate that situation to continue.

Prison practices, as far as he is concerned are "degrading".  Why he is even observed when in the act of swallowing his vitamin pills.  He objects to being subjected to daily strip searches - on occasion by female prison guards.

The precise mind that detonated a car bomb in Oslo killing eight, who remorselessly hunted down young people on the island of Utoya where he managed to end the lives of another 69 Norwegians is fed up with the lack of respect he is being subjected to.
