For terrorists who commit crimes to further their political agenda? Why not.
Obviously this doesn't translate to all prisoners, but in cases like Breivik's, the priority is containing his ideology, not punishing the person.

Denying him any chance to rightfully complain about prison conditions is probably the most effective punishment you can come up with.
When the Baader-Meinhof gang was thrown into inhumane solitary confinement, it and their hunger strikes and suicides made them martyrs to their cause, spawning a new generation of terrorists that picked up their banners.
Meanwhile, Breivik complaining that his PlayStation is too old and that he can't play the newest games makes him a joke figure.
