43 years in solitary - 9th Jun 2015 10:19am
Just wonder what opinions are on such a long sentence of solitary confinement.
This chap and two others constantly said they were innocent of the crimes they were imprisoned for. Two have been released previously and Albert Woodfox is now to be released after 43 years in solitary.
Someone is calling for retrial.
Certain American states are particularly cruel IMO, and I can see no purpose in keeping this man incarcerated any longer. It's a sad tale of which I am sure there are many in USA.
The link to King's interview is also of interest after he spent 29yrs in solitary.
How can anyone survive that ? The pain endured by their families must have been just as bad and how on earth will he and they be able to adjust now ,is that likely to be worse ?
