Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
The Norwegian convicted of the massacre of 77 people last year has said he is being held in "inhumane" conditions.
Anders Behring Breivik complained in a letter to the prison service that his coffee is served cold, he does not have enough butter for his bread, and he is not allowed moisturiser.
Breivik is serving a minimum 21-year sentence for the bombings and shootings in Oslo and Utoeya island last July.
The Norwegian authorities have not commented on the letter.
However his lawyer has confirmed that the details of the 27-page document leaked to Norway's VG newspaper are authentic.
Breivik is being held in almost complete isolation - 23 hours a day, he says - at Ila prison outside Oslo.
His cell includes three sections, one to sleep, one for study and a third for exercise - each measuring 8 sq m (86 sq ft).
In the letter, he complains that the cell is poorly decorated and has no view.
"I highly doubt that there are worse detention facilities in Norway," he writes.
'Too cold'
Among his other complaints are:
Ila is an all-male institution which "houses some of the country's most dangerous men", its website says.
However it differs markedly from other maximum security jails in western Europe. The staff is a half-and-half mix of men and women and none are armed.
Breivik massacred 77 people, most of them teenagers at a youth camp run by Norway's governing Labour Party.
His 21-year sentence can be indefinitely extended for as long as he is considered a danger to society.

'Too cold'
Among his other complaints are:
- the handcuffs he wears when being moved around the prison "are too sharp and "cut in his wrist"
- the cell is too cold, forcing him to wear three layers of clothes
- he has to rush his morning shave and brushing of teeth
- light and television switches are outside the cell, so he has to ask for help to change channel or sleep.

21 years in prison is the maximum sentence for planned murder (overlagt drap) allowed by Norwegian law. However, they do have a nice little loophole that they can extend sentences indefinitely if there are special circumstances, like a murder of severe cruelty, mass murder, or if there is reason to believe the offender may commit murder again. This wanker's never going to breathe free air again.
He might get his moisturiser, though.

He should see Van der Sloot's living conditions in the Peruvian jail, and then count his good fortunes.
