You are completely unable to put yourself in his position.
He did the crime most likely. He is the ONLY ONE in solitary for DECADES.
That IS cruel and unusual punishment.

Texas has 138 such people in long term isolation.

They strip search him, even though he is in a solitary cell, then take him to an exercise room for that then back to the cell.

I suppose the concept of basic humanity means nothing to you.

You have clearly shown zero empathy for anyone.

What many do not consider
is the fact that 99%(?) of inmates
will be released, back into society.
When these people are released,
they will likely be more of a threat
to society than they were previously.

its not a new law, these criminals knew the punishment when they choose to do the (crimes). get caught and crying about it doesnt pull on my heart strings very much.

not true at all, those released early with little timed served yes, but not with cases such as this.

Pay attention;
The statutory punishments,
DO NOT INCLUDE, solitary confinement.
Ya' gotta' read the links, MUTT.

what do you tell the family of an 83 yr old when a creep like this kills them?

he escaped and held the man at knife point… your view only covers one person, I think of all the lives a person like this can affect. You libs dont care about the innocent public.


2 months in solitary made me start to get a little crazy. 🤪

Imagine 25 years!


@Mott-The-Hoople
We have no doubt he committed the crime. In Norway they treat prisoners with respect and the prisoners respond by getting out and NOT repeating their crimes.

But of course YOU would go Strap em to a cot for ten years that'l teach em.

I understand all that.
Solitary confinement is
enhanced punishment
that many argue, only
creates A MORE VICIOUS CRIMINAL
that, WILL BE RELEASED,
sooner or later, into society.
Criminals should be punished but,
by using these methods are we really
making society safer, or just creating
a more dangerous situation, in the long run?


@jimm619
That is EXACTLY why the Norwegian prison system should be at least studied in the US.

Sweden, Denmark, others...........
Lets don't forget that we have more
incarcerated people than any other
country, even more than China or India.
