If only they'd throw this freak into gen pop. Pedos get eaten alive in there, on top of that he's an elected official. I still say solitary confinement shouldn't exist.
For the record, I think cruel and unusual punishment is something we should consider bringing back for certain things, in the sense that tar and feathering should still be a thing for traitors (specifically people that work for the government and betray the American people, whether it's violating the Constitution or sharing state secrets with foreign nationals.) That being said, solitary confinement is stupid, and honestly, so is the death penalty. I'm a major proponent of expanded prison labor, but we couldn't do that until the actual operation of prisons was unprivatized. Realistically, prisons should be revenue neutral ventures for the government. They shouldn't be able to profit off them, but they should definitely cost taxpayers nothing and avoid profiteering. The physical design of prisons is crappy, too, from a security, structural longevity, hearing and cooling, and efficiency of space standpoint. I should stress that most of my complaints are about maximum security facilities, minimum security "camps" have their quirks too, but I'm not as versed in how those work.

Ten years is not enough. This child will be sentenced to a whole life of suffering.

Yes, let them fight for their lives. Just like they made their victims do. No amount of torture is too much imo.

It shouldn't. Speaking from experience it is cruel & unusual punishment.
