35 years in a small cell. The lights are never turned off.
At some point they gave him a TV so they could have something to take away from him for additional punishment. Nicknamed the most isolated man in America.
A psychiatrist checks on him occasionally to verify he is unhappy with his conditions, which means he hasn’t gone insane.

Is he the guy that killed a guy by stabbing him with a newspaper?

Just put on The Last Jedi on a never ending loop and he'll hang himself.

there is no greater sorrow than to have a td handle taken away

Do the crime you gotta do the time

Never turning the lights off seems like cruel and unusual punishment.

Prisoners get better light bulbs than I do.

Here's someone who exemplified why we should have the death penalty.

We have laws against cruel and unusual punishment in this country buddy

likely justified by the need for continuous monitoring.

Can't say that I feel sorry for him. He's never going to reform and contribute anything to the human race. I'd support executing him and be done with it.

Who gives a shite.

They had to find a way to punish him because tacking on life sentences to someone with two already is obviously not working.
quote:
Silverstein claims that "no human contact” status is essentially a form of torture reserved for those who kill correctional officers. "When an inmate kills a guard, he must be punished," a Bureau of Prisons official told author Pete Earley. "We can’t execute Silverstein, so we have no choice but to make his life a living hell. Otherwise other inmates will kill guards too. There has to be some supreme punishment. Every convict knows what Silverstein is going through. We want them to realize that if they cross the same line that he did, they will pay a heavy price."[4]

Now they need to shut the lights off for 35 years, just to change it up and keep it fresh.

That is not how you cook a Jew.

Guy is in the supermax prison in Colorado now. He has done quite a lot while in prison to earn his isolation. Killed two guards, started a riot, etc.
