... and now he's spreading vile Nazi crap. To be honest, I have no idea what to do with people like him... they certainly don't deserve to be running around free and they're a danger to society, but locking someone up for life is absolutely inhumane too.

Since then Norway has introduced a sentence class that can effectively jail someone for life.
Every 5 years after the main sentence the person is reviewed to see if releasing him would be a risk to society. And if deemed such a risk, the sentence is extended by another 5 years.
Norway may implement that in a sensible way, but the UK recently scrapped a similar sentence because it was linked to a bunch of injustices.

People would go in for a minor offence, but be seen as high risk, and then stay in for many years.
