Tommy Silverstein is dead

[renard_ruse]

Apparently Tommy Silverstein passed away in 2019.

With everything thats been going on I missed it.

Tommy was the longest held federal prisoner in solitary confinement and the poster child for abolishing federal prisons.

Tommy was psychologically abused to a level few humans alive have suffered. He was confined for decades in a tiny cement cell with a bare light bulb burning day and night, no view of the outside world, and a "no human contact" order on his cell.

Yet Tommy maintained his dignity and even forgave his captors.

Convicted of murders while imprisoned? That's rare.

I guess that's why they put him in solitary -- what else ya gonna do?

And OP's take isn't true. He may have been designated as 'solitary' for a number of years, but he was in an out of various prisons and moved around the country during that time.

He should have had his door welded shut though.

Trouvere is the kind of racist who buys into the old racial pseudoscience. Renard seems to be the more commonplace sort who thinks of a racial group, or at least the white race, as something to which a member should be loyal, as to a country.
