OSLO. -The 33-year-old, Anders Behring Breivik, who bombed government buildings killing 77 and injuring 242 people and then shot at a number of Labor Party supporters in July 2011, will receive his own private psychiatric ward at the Ila Prison in Oslo, where he will serve his sentence.
Authorities announce that the measure comes as an additional effort to ensure that the mass murderer will be securely held without any chances of escape or causing any damage within the prison.
Breivik is currently under mental evaluation; he could face a prison sentence of up to 21 years.
Earlier this month, prosecutor Svein Holden sought psychiatric care for the estranged Breivik, saying " We are not convinced or certain that Breivik is legally insane but we are in doubt...So we request that he is transferred to compulsory psychiatric care," according to BBC News.
Last week, Breivik in a 45 minute speech explained that he was saving Norway from becoming a "multicultural hell," specifically targeting the country's Muslim diaspora. According BBC analyst Lars bevanger, Breivik talked about his hatred for non-ethnic Norwegians.
Breivik's defense lawyer argued "The mother of these actions is not violence, it is an extreme, radical, political attitude, and his actions must be perceived from the point of view of right-wing extremist culture," as reported by BBC News.
Breivik claims that he is not insane and that he should be acquitted. Prosecutors are pleading insanity.
The case has been going on for 10 weeks; the court is expected to make a verdict in July or early August. Breivik has openly admitted on various occasions to the killings, he claims that he has no regrets about what he had done.
In July 2011, Breivik bombed an Oslo government building which killed eight people. Then he went on a shooting rampage at the camp of the Workers' Youth League (AUF) of the Labor Party killing 63 people, most of whom were teenagers.
