It seems Norway is letting him have the same conditions he had prior to the car hijacking, so I'd expect him to have guitars on this new album. |

In Norway, it's not uncommon for prisoners who have to do a lot of time that they get some kind of freedom from prison, like freedom to have a job out there in society or freedom to attend school. I think they still have to stay in the prison outside of working/studying hours.
And I think that's the deal he's got.

Word. Those damn Norwegians and their "rehabilitation". Who do they think they are not having an utterly useless and impractical punishment based prison system like we have in America?

Haha
It seems to work, kinda. I do think it is possible to rehabilitate to some extent in norwegian prisons. One reason why we can do it is because we don't have that much vicious crime like murder in this country. If we had a lot of it, the government would be sending a lot of murderers back out on the streets and that wouldn't be popular, even here. Norwegian prisons and punishment is a bit lax at times, though. Sometimes, people are let off too easily and commit crimes again shortly after. There's even been some cases where people deliberately went and did a crime just so they could get into jail. How to deal with criminals is one of the toughest nuts to crack in any society though. There are trade-offs for every solution.

Varg is sort of treated like a child by the Norwegian penal system. I know this Norwegian who studies (wait for it): ancient Norwegian/Scandinavian culture, and apparently Varg takes a few classes at the same University. He claims Varg looks like a bum and talks to himself quite a bit.
