Clayseph16 after 29 years being free means nothing without finances. Who is gonna pay his rent? 29 years of working at minimum wage is around 700,000 dollars. Now this man was kept from being able to go to college, no retirement account. No nothing just a "sorry, enioy your freedom, we dont always get it right. Shucks" he will be back within a month, they gave him no other choice.
I spent 73 days in confinement at a Florida state prison (FSP) that was the longest 73 days of my life I seen a young kid get killed by officers I seen guys that got there death penalty sentences overturned and sentenced to life and they would throw them in the cell next to mine begging to go back to death row I seen child molesters get there ass beat by guards only entrainment I had was feeding spiders ants that would come into our cell from the guards throwing our trays on the ground it was truly a sad experience
Sphinx Money America is dumb, school shootings every month, what does the government do about it? Absolutely nothing. Probably because you were dumb enough to vote in Donald Trump
orange juice wait back up two seconds if the gov. didn’t care about shootings why do they publicly speak about the shootings and say that it’s a massive tragedy and why does the gov. offer SWAT teams and special agents to deal with this type of problem?
They didn't forget... 23 year kid Anthony Geoffrey i knew Found dead in cell hanging.. he only had 3 days left to go.. he had a child on the way smfh and guards punished him they found him with 2 broken ribs bruises from head to toe.. cuts 1inch wide all the way to a broken jaw n it goes on.. Well the kids parents have money n they reopened the case.. still waiting on what really happened... inmates said the kid was screaming stop I'm sorry n yelled at the inmates don't look when they walked him past off to a corner where no camera was
I was stripped of clothes with a razor blade while fully cooperative where I saw no camera's.later dismissed of all charges. Spent I think a week and a half. Time becomes blurred. Cops in full uniform and who worked at the jail slandered me. This happens. So sorry.
The cops just plain out murdered him.I spent a bit of time in jail myself, so I know from experience. You piss off a cop somehow and they WILL murder you.
Jail: "Oh he's suicidal, LETS TORTURE HIM, AND MAKE HIM LOSE HIS MIND, AND MAKE HIM WANNA DIE MORE!" Thats insane, I've had mental issues my whole life, but I had to do virtual school for about 5 months and my issues increased from being separated from my friends, I felt like I was going crazy! I feel so bad for the poor guy, what I experience is nothing compared to his :(
It angers me even more that this is ONE man that had this happen to him. Our judicial system in America is completely fucked, and no one seems to even know it. There are people serving serious time for non violent crimes. Innocent men and women behind bars. People that have spent decades in solitary confinement. I don't care what the crime, it isn't right. Wake up people, there is a huge problem going on with our judicial system and everyone sweeps it under the rug. There are literally people in this comment section going on about how he commited a crime, and that he deserved it. Just No! No!!! He was in a COUNTY JAIL, people!! He did not have trial. He was NEVER convicted. That is false imprisonment. No amount of money that man has been given will ever erase the physiological trauma he was subjected to!!
This is among the foullest civil rights violations I've ever heard in my 46 yrs of life. & I've done 17 yrs in prison, they need 2 press charges on the pigs that did that 2 that man
In Florida there was a gentleman who died in prison who never even had a trial. He was arrested for a insignificant infraction that was not even a misdemeanor. The maximum penalty was ten days in the city jail. He was deaf and his attempt to communicate with the court was misinterpreted by the judge as being disrespectful. So he was sentenced to 30 days for contempt of court. When he was brought before the judge, again he attempted to communicate with the court and was this time sentenced to 90 days for contempt. When he completed that sentence he again attempted to communicate. The judge, fed up with his "antics" sentenced him to one year for contempt of court, the maximum allowed by law. So after completing one year and four months out of a maximum of one year for contempt of court, he yet again attempted to communicate with the court and again his attempt was interpreted as contempt. so he was transferred to the felony court where he was charged with being a repeat offender and was sentenced to five years. When he got to prison he tried his best to communicate with corrections officers but to no avail so he was put in solitary confinement where he spent the next five years. To be clear, since he was unable to communicate with the court despite repeated attempts, he did not know they were asking if he needed an attorney so he could not say yes and so the court proceeded without providing him with one. In all that time he never consulted an attorney and as far as anyone knows, never learned what he was sentenced for because he also could not read never having gone to school. When it was time for his release, he refused to tell the department of corrections where his address was on the outside world. He didn't have one. He was homeless. But that would not have mattered since he never understood the question being that he was deaf and could not read. So they took him back to solitary confinement where he died 37 years later. He is buried in a potter's field outside the prison yard. 43+ years, eventually sentenced to life in solitary confinement because he was deaf, illiterate, and black. That was Florida. I met the guard who found his body. He found the body in 1962. I met that guard in 1979. It wasn't until the 1970's when the records were being audited that his case was discovered. His jail records show that when he had his jail physical exam that it was discovered that he was deaf but there is no record that the court was notified since it was the responsibility of the defendant at that time to so inform the court, in clearly spoken English. That is the most extreme case I had ever heard of but I had heard of many cases where inmates sat around for long periods of time. When I was teaching reading to inmates there was a gentleman there who had been held waiting transfer to another county for 3 1/2 years and in that time had not once spoken to an attorney. He was waiting to be transferred to another county for a misdemeanor charge where the maximum penalty was one year. In that time the county that wanted him lost interest and dropped the charges in court but the paperwork was not properly filed so the custodial county was obligated to hold him until the wanting county came and got him and the wanting county didn't want him any more so they refused to get him. So he sat in limbo for 42 months. No trial, no attorney. No hearings. He just sat and sat. Finally they released him, 100 miles from home and gave him no means of transportation and ordered him to leave the county within 24 hours The offered him no compensation for all the time he spent in jail. He lost his wife, visitation rights with his kids, lost his job and his home. He tried to sue but since the county holding him was following the letter of the law, he lost his case. The last I heard he was wandering the streets of another county as a homeless person. He probably died on the streets since that was over 30 years ago.
@@drewmcwilliams3430 yeah I don't know man...I think your just bias and it makes your job easier. However need to offer another alternative if they did ban it...that is for sure.
Better than Mexico where more than half of the cops take bribes to kill for someone or keep them off their backs, better than north Korea for obvious reasons, better than Venezuela who is have a civil war, and better than most of Africa.
I can name a lot more places to be prisoners than the US 😂 (even though hating on the USA is on the political agenda for Europeans and Liberals these days)
I did 3 weeks in solitary in portland young offenders in 1988 where a screw called Mr Green (don't know if it's his real name) beat me up every time the door was open for the 1st 6 days. Wasn't allowed to talk to anyone, sat on a cardboard chair 12 hrs a day then a mattress on a floor 12 hrs at night. When I got back to Raleigh block after the 3 weeks they couldn't shut me up, I was so glad to have someone to talk to. As for the idiots saying sign me up, try it, stay in ur bedroom with no TV and someone bringing u 3 meals a day who ur not allowed to talk to, no reading material, nothing but u and the 4 walls, c how long u last. I guarantee most of u wouldn't last a week.
I just wish that instead of having tax payers foot the bill, the bill comes out of the pay of the staff involved in the problem. It's like all these abuse cases occur and those responsible never really face any punishment because they hide behind an organization that is blamed but an organization is nothing without the staff and the staff shape the organization.
to those who think his ordeal was "worth it".......go spend some time in a country jail. theyre worse than prisons in many ways. underfunded, understaffed, no mandatory sunlight even for the general population. the guards are completely desensitized to human suffering. I spent 6 months in county for DUI first timer, but the judge who sentenced me had lost loved ones to a drunk driver sooooooooo.......there's no state oversight. crowding is constant to the point where you may be living on the floor in a rubber canoe. the food is often labeled "not for human consumption" as I learned working in the kitchen. without a paid lawyer you'll stand NO CHANCE. and nobody cares because we are,after all, prisoners. without the chance for dialogue with another person for 2 years, its a miracle he's not insane.
John Hernandez Agreed John. there's a big difference between bonding out and coming back for sentencing in some nice clothes with a 20G lawyer at your side OR coming up cuffed and shackled from the holding cells sporting jailhouse clothing with a public defender who cant remember your name.
Solitary confinement is really hard, but for $15 million dollars? If being in solitary confinement all day for two years straight was considered "working", that's $856 an hour. I don't think it's worth it personally, but others might.
I'm a prison guard. And yes I must say this does happen but I'm not 1 of em who treats inmates poorly. I treat em they I'd want to be treated if I was an inmate
People saying "I'd throw away 2 years for 22 mill" can not possibly understand. It's not throwing away 2 years. It's not wasting 2 years. It's spending every second of 2 years in what is beyond the most brutal experience you can imagine. People go mentally insane after a few months in the hole. Your teeth are rotting out of your mouth in excruciating pain. You do not shower FOR TWO YEARS. And when you are shitting and pissing on yourself more than once a day, it's a lot worse than you think. No sane human who understands solitary confinement would do this for any amount of money.
So this guy must not have had anyone looking for him on the outside. Because usually when you don't come home at night there is someone who gets concerned.
graleh Yeah really, I know someone with no siblings, both her parents are only children and her grandparents are all dead. Unless she has kids one day she'll have no family. And she's very sweet.
I can't even understand how this is even possible at all to happen in today's world. Amazing. Not only does he deserve that settlement some other people need to be held accountable and possibly locked up in jail. Definitely someone need to be fired from that jail.
Ok so the man was payed with tax payer money so what was the real punishment here because this didn’t cost these people a dollar it only costed the taxpayers, did anyone get fired or what
I was put into a behavioral facility for 3 days and I had a room and could walk down this small hallway and that was it, I didn’t know when I was gonna get out and that is the most terrifying feeling ever, people were telling me it could days or weeks..just being surrounded by walls it literally ingraved a anxiety in me I still suffer today, sometimes just sitting in my house I have to just get up and go for a walk to know I can still do that..I couldn’t imagine what this guy went through
Mr G Gaming 2.0 Potato you clearly know nothing about bitcoin😑it’s not just a quick money method and it’s highly volatile...otherwise everyone would be doing it
What I can't believe, is that they actually won their appeal to reduce the compensation. Fucking unbelievable. He should have been given a lot more than 22 million, and the fuckers responsible should have then done two years solitary.
He totally did it to himself! He knew they forgot him on some kind of clerical error, and concocted this scheme to stay. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing, and he got paid big time. Respect!
This is actually astonishing to me that he actually ended up with any compensation. Let alone $15 Million. As far as I've seen, people who end up in jail for something they didn't do or similar cases just typically end up being released with an "Oops! Sorry. My bad." and that's it.
Katie, your comment astonished me. Now we are both astonished. All I can say is, if you really feel that way, you have no compassion at all. Even if he had been convicted of the DUI (and he wasn't, that's part of the problem), do you really think what he went through is a fitting punishment for such a thing?
Frozen AYCE Thanks for your opinion but, if Katie truly feels that way, I'll have to see a post from her stating that. I think I correctly interpreted her meaning and her silence following my post is deafening. I think she was implying that the simple fact that this man was arrested is enough for her to assume he's "guilty of something" and that she doesn't have a problem with the man, not convicted of a crime, rotting in jail for two years. I mean, hey, he was arrested, who cares whether he got his day in court? The fact that he got arrested means he deserved whatever he got, right Katie?
BigRalphSmith fair enough. i guess we'll just have to wait for the big K to reply before we really know what she meant, lol. i tend to have a more optimistic view when interpreting things
He likes getting in fights, he's been punched in the face, but he does find it hard to endure tooth ache; surely that's informative, insightful commentary?
To put this into perspective for everyone: They settled for $15.5 Million Dollars. That means for every day that he was in solitary confinement he made $20,547 That means he made $856 an hour for every single hour that he was in solitary confinement assuming he was in solitary for 2 years. Yes this whole situation is fucked up, and it'll probably make anyone crazy to be in solitary for that long, but to be honest... I'd do the 2 years in solitary willingly if I made $856 an hour and over 20k a day. Two years of your life in exchange for complete financial security for the rest of it (assuming you invest well)? Yupp sign me up.
but the thing is he didn't do it for money, he didn't know he was going to get money so he probably did go crazy. but i would do it as well for half the money you don't even have to invest well.
HDCybersun What you fail to understand is that he had no forms of entertainment he probably read the same magazine and books thousands of times if he had even had any at all.
The thing is its not two years, its his sanity and just his entire life. It would have destroyed his mind and I couldn't understand what he has been through.
You should enlighten yourself with a little research on mankind as a social primate creature. The best explanation that science has to explain the extra complexity and huge size of the human brain versus other primates has nothing to do with our accepted perceptions of "intelligence" but has everything to do with the increased capacity for social processing, interpersonal memories ("bonding"), language, etc. This isolation and treatment would drive anyone insane regardless of knowing about the coming payday or not. The point is that once you agree to it, absolutely nothing you say or do short of suicide can get you free from it. Processing that fact once it becomes reality will destroy your mind. Not even to mention the toothache... That's straight up classic torture there added to the existing psychological torture. Check out the folks who volunteered to undergo water-boarding. They knew it would only last a couple of minutes; they knew their lives were never actually threatened; they even knew that the guys doing this to them were "friendlies" only doing it because they agreed to it. None of those facts help a bit - even the toughest S.O.B. "secret agents" of the NSA/CIA (?) undergoing counter-terrorism training only lasted 15 seconds. While at it, check out the video of Mos Def undergoing force feeding treatment. Would you still do it for the money? With a toothache?
I know a guy who was falsely arrested and so poor he could not afford an attorney and could not pay any bail. Off and on his appointed attorney would come in and offer him a deal like 'plead guilty and I can get you 15 years', he replied 'no, I did not do anything wrong'. After 2 years of this, he finally demanded and demanded to see the judge, so the attorney set it up. The judge opened his folder and said, 'is this it?' He then slammed the folder shut and said 'free this innocent man now and I mean now'. Why does this happen? Because we allow it. Soon enough, it will be you and me in there.
The most sad history ever 😭😭😭For most of the past 41 years, Herman Wallace was allowed to leave his 6-by-9-foot Louisiana prison cell for only an hour a day a few times a week.
"I am glad they got punished." NOOOOO! THEY did not get punished. The taxpayers of that state got punished. Nobody went to jail over this. THEY got off scot-free.
You don't know what happened to the people responsible for it they probably have been sent to jail. Unless you know what happened to them you shouldn't really say anything about this.
I never said that's what happened you even said it yourself. I just said you don't know what happened they *probably* went to jail. Just go and rant about this to someone who give's a fuck.
Oh really? I don't feel any pain in my ass. Also I don't give a fuck... that you want to rant about shit that's not even real. Just keep thinking your smart and witty.
I've had depression for years, and I personally feel like this would feel like depression times 500. I'm not social, and I don't hunger talking with others, but I feel like this would emotionally and physically rip me apart.
Thank you. Thank you. We have a broken and unjust system. The general public are also too quick to label and forget common sense compassion. To right the wrongs and to make sure fair, and dignified trial is granted. No one left to rot and be forgotten. 😔
i have spend 6 years in prison guilty i spend 9 months of the 72 months i was sentenced to in confiment 270 days in solitory confiment guilty its harsh hard cold lonely dark hungry sick scare 4 some all i am saying .....i was sentecned and i dealth with this guy was on remand 2 years in a hole 50 million i say
Name and photos of the people who were operating this jail please... make them public !!! and they should pay the 15 million, sell their homes from under them....
Tooth pain is worth than child birth. I've had multiple abscesses and tons of hospital stays and spent seven thousand on dental work and dentures at age 20. I had been in Jail at 16 years of age and I was in solitary for seven days and in jail for over thirty just because my judge forgot to sign the release form and I was forgotten. I would not go back into solitary for any amount of money no way
Prison is a lot different than solitary, i mean sure, it's no fun. But you have somewhat of a freedom in a prison and you're treated as a human. Solitary is the absolute extreme, so solitary would way more easily cause mental issues. And you get help with medical, hygenic and other things in a prison. I'd say those 2 years in solitary were worse than 29 years in prison tbh. Since those 2 years not only take away the 2 years, but it takes away who you were as a person at all, might even make you commit suicide right away because of everything.
This isn't going to "set an example". The average person is treated poorly by the powers that be whether you are inside or outside of prison and it's getting worse. Gov't has abandoned any pretense of even being a "gov't by the people" which it hasn't been in decades. When I complained to my local city councilwoman about the meth lab in my neighborhood, I was treated very rudely & they never did much of anything and were very dismissive. Even the most local and in the past, most responsive of gov't officials, couldn't care less about constituents. That's machine politics in NYC & they no longer even pretend to give a damn.
***** If you think that this man will ever lead a normal life after what happened to him, you are nuts! In that aspect he has lost his entire life. Locked in a sunless room, no contact with people in any meaningful way, no television, nothing to read and nothing to do for nearly two years. How do you think those conditions would have effected you?
John McCain chose to be a soldier and knew the risks involved. This man was "blind sided" when put into solitary confinement and forgotten by the "higher ups" and ignored by the rest. Not to mention that this happened in his own country! You are absolutely correct when you stated that people handle situations differently but one look in that man's face tells you that he did not fair so well. He has been broken...not as a prisoner of war but just dragged in off of the street!
I agree with Noella, others are idiots... He can barely talk in the interview. And now with that money and his previous life gone, it's likely he will get hooked on drugs then kill himself... very sad. I would do a lot off nasty shit for money, but stuck in solitary for this long without knowing your going to get out and get paid. I'd break. NOT worth it!! Tell me beforehand and I could EASILY handle it, thinking ahead... You're just see the money now and think you could do it. Could you do it without the money? That's what he did first, then luckily he got paid, so he can drown himself in alcohol and cocaine.
Who paid the 15,000,000. I know....... the tax payers of course......who trusted the sheriff and jail staff to do there jobs correctly. Did the sheriff loose even a penny of his salary "NO" did the jail staff loose even a penny of there salaries again "NO" . That is core of the problem. Start punishing the guilty not the innocent.
I think I would honestly just take my food and water, put it in a corner and leave it until I die of thirst and hunger. Imagine how insane people get doing this for more than a few hours
What I never used to realize about "solitary" is that it's not just solitary. In solitary, one might imagine you'd have books to read, maybe something to draw on, a mattress, blanket, lights out at night. But it is actually torture. No books allowed, nothing. Just a person, by themselves in a room, nothing to occupy them. It is torture, and should be treated as such.
@@anattempttomakecontent776 That is the solitary confinement that you have no interaction with the outside, this guy actually got to go out 1 hour a day, so he would still be sane.
My family of origin is not something I’m proud of. My neice chose a life of drugs and crime very early. She has been offered help at every juncture but prefers to live the “street” life. I hadn’t seen her in four years when she arrived at my elderly parents house. I returned from out of town to find her there. I asked why she was there and if she would go to treatment. Of course she refused help and left quickly. We realized she had stolen several pieces of jewelry from the home, she went through everything they owned as they slept I assume. Law enforcement took the offense seriously and located our property being sold by her on several websites. She was arrested for possession of meth, extasy and heroin out of state and extradited back to face charges. From jail she violated the NCO daily, calling us constantly. Was given probation and violated in two weeks. Was recently released after 364 days. Within three weeks she was at my elderly parents home. Again offered treatment and refused. I finally got her away from their property and I was the prisoner, living in fear of her returning to harm them. Before she could return, she carjacked an innocent man and was arrested after crashing the vehicle minutes later. Now we wait, will she be out in another year? Very likely and she will resume tormenting my elderly parents and I’ll be the one paying the price for her chosen lifestyle. I don’t know why I’m writing this here, I don’t have anyone to talk to. My friends don’t understand and I’m ashamed. My point is there are no answers when people chose a life of crime. Their victims suffer, their family members become victims. She needs help but it’s probably too late. Even if she accepted help, she will return to the life. I wish she’d be given intensive treatment from her first offense. Because of the way I grew up I choose to be a law abiding citizen, I have never harmed anyone and have been a productive member of society. Sadly my life has been effected my the choices of someone who rather victimize others and live an immoral life.
HatchetFam Entertainment solitary is rarely, if ever, given for two years at a time and solitary is added on to a larger sentence of prison so ur lying unless ur typing from prison rn
Solitary has its own guards that's only job is to give them food through a little slot and sometimes take them out for one hour. They don't check who they are or their files
Here read this. My nephew died in jail after 8 days. He had mental illness. His name is Marc Anthony Moreno he died on March 11, 2016 he was only 18 years old. He died in Benton county jail in Kennewick WA, his dad and sister won a small settlement for his death. It was murder. It was only 3 days before his 19th birthday. I miss him so much. He didn't deserve this kind of death. He needed medical attention but they didn't give it to him so he died alone in a padded cell all alone with no one around him. RIP. Marc Tia Maggie misses you so much. 💋💔🙏😇😘😥😥😥😥
This happens more often than people think. I knew a guy who was sentenced to jail for a month, but the jail lost his paperwork. The jail left him there for months. His lawyer finally got him out. If he didn’t have a lawyer he may still be there.
It's not worse if you are used to being sealed away from reality and sanity. The first month is the hardest after that your mind has lost its sanity and you loose the concept of time until you feel something else than emptiness.
Y'know that most people go insane after 1 week of solitary confinement right?, That in itself is a form of torture, no?. Not to mention because of this form of torture he failed to get a court hearing and only got 100 days off his sentence...
That's how it is,that's why when I was in jail I kept reminding them of my court date.they get mad but I DNT care because they are free,and that's why they don't care
+Batch No. 1 u would go mental, be in so much pain, knowing that they would never help, lose 2 years of ur life, miss out on whats new and such, and know that u were suppose to be realized, but hey forgot about it
That's not how the system works however. Even if dollars are being used abroad they don't have to be a part of the US economy. It is the US economy that handles matters of the state, like paying up if they made a mistake. When it is the judicial system that failed it is hard to point the finger at any one man. This is why the 15mill is paid by the state.. further explanation seems pointless.

One guy served 29 years in prison only to be freed after he was found to be innocent the whole time and he got nothing, not even a penny.
What was the case
If you're talking about Arthur Brown he was compensated, although yea not like this guy
Braden Bennett His reward is in Heaven
I think he'd care more about being free than money
Clayseph16 after 29 years being free means nothing without finances. Who is gonna pay his rent? 29 years of working at minimum wage is around 700,000 dollars. Now this man was kept from being able to go to college, no retirement account. No nothing just a "sorry, enioy your freedom, we dont always get it right. Shucks" he will be back within a month, they gave him no other choice.
I spent 73 days in confinement at a Florida state prison (FSP) that was the longest 73 days of my life I seen a young kid get killed by officers I seen guys that got there death penalty sentences overturned and sentenced to life and they would throw them in the cell next to mine begging to go back to death row I seen child molesters get there ass beat by guards only entrainment I had was feeding spiders ants that would come into our cell from the guards throwing our trays on the ground it was truly a sad experience
Thrasher TRUCKING is your channel active?
What are spider ants? That sounds scary
His suffering aged him terribly. My heart goes out to him.
2 years too long!
How does that happen?

Right. China,Venezuela, Russia, Korea would never do that🤔🤔
John M they wouldn’t because as dumb as America, think about it, your country voted in Donald Trunmp
Sphinx Money America is dumb, school shootings every month, what does the government do about it? Absolutely nothing. Probably because you were dumb enough to vote in Donald Trump
@Sea Pickle, he is to cowardly to answer that one.
orange juice wait back up two seconds if the gov. didn’t care about shootings why do they publicly speak about the shootings and say that it’s a massive tragedy and why does the gov. offer SWAT teams and special agents to deal with this type of problem?
They never forget about people in jail in my country, Canada. You know why? Because our justice system is not private and for profit.
yea, but fuck canada.

fuck off US trash.
jenn faire woah woah woah dont say that

SlyLife Better then the US!
They didn't "forget" him. The human body can only go up to a week or two without water, and 3 months without food... this was purposeful.
And how in the hell did he NOT go insane? Also, that is a movie. The Stanford Prison Experiment. It is actually called the Lucifer Effect.
They forgot why he was in there, they did not forget him in there..
2-3 days without water
Depends on the environment you are in. You could die in 48 hours without water walking in the desert, or you could sit in a room for 5 or 6 days.
Rachel McInnis its actually 2-3 days without water and 2-3 weeks without food.. not what you said
They didn't forget... 23 year kid Anthony Geoffrey i knew Found dead in cell hanging.. he only had 3 days left to go.. he had a child on the way smfh and guards punished him they found him with 2 broken ribs bruises from head to toe.. cuts 1inch wide all the way to a broken jaw n it goes on.. Well the kids parents have money n they reopened the case.. still waiting on what really happened... inmates said the kid was screaming stop I'm sorry n yelled at the inmates don't look when they walked him past off to a corner where no camera was
I was stripped of clothes with a razor blade while fully cooperative where I saw no camera's.later dismissed of all charges. Spent I think a week and a half. Time becomes blurred. Cops in full uniform and who worked at the jail slandered me. This happens. So sorry.
Re-write this in correct sentences. It's very hard to understand.
The cops just plain out murdered him.I spent a bit of time in jail myself, so I know from experience. You piss off a cop somehow and they WILL murder you.
Hannah Fritts shut up you can read it perfectly fine you little grammar nazi
Weird flex but ok
Even caged up animals are in shock
Never mind the dental could’ve gone mental, great line.
Jail: "Oh he's suicidal, LETS TORTURE HIM, AND MAKE HIM LOSE HIS MIND, AND MAKE HIM WANNA DIE MORE!"
Thats insane, I've had mental issues my whole life, but I had to do virtual school for about 5 months and my issues increased from being separated from my friends, I felt like I was going crazy! I feel so bad for the poor guy, what I experience is nothing compared to his :(
Micayla Ruby ofc u have had a mental issues ur hole life ur gay ffs
Everyone asking how this man stayed alive without food really makes me question societies intelligence. Like wtf people.
It angers me even more that this is ONE man that had this happen to him. Our judicial system in America is completely fucked, and no one seems to even know it. There are people serving serious time for non violent crimes. Innocent men and women behind bars. People that have spent decades in solitary confinement. I don't care what the crime, it isn't right. Wake up people, there is a huge problem going on with our judicial system and everyone sweeps it under the rug. There are literally people in this comment section going on about how he commited a crime, and that he deserved it. Just No! No!!! He was in a COUNTY JAIL, people!! He did not have trial. He was NEVER convicted. That is false imprisonment. No amount of money that man has been given will ever erase the physiological trauma he was subjected to!!
sara beacher I would love to know what you don't think are crimes
This is among the foullest civil rights violations I've ever heard in my 46 yrs of life. & I've done 17 yrs in prison, they need 2 press charges on the pigs that did that 2 that man

IB Watching you know I see a book deal and a movie deal
look at him
In Florida there was a gentleman who died in prison who never even had a trial. He was arrested for a insignificant infraction that was not even a misdemeanor. The maximum penalty was ten days in the city jail. He was deaf and his attempt to communicate with the court was misinterpreted by the judge as being disrespectful. So he was sentenced to 30 days for contempt of court. When he was brought before the judge, again he attempted to communicate with the court and was this time sentenced to 90 days for contempt. When he completed that sentence he again attempted to communicate. The judge, fed up with his "antics" sentenced him to one year for contempt of court, the maximum allowed by law. So after completing one year and four months out of a maximum of one year for contempt of court, he yet again attempted to communicate with the court and again his attempt was interpreted as contempt. so he was transferred to the felony court where he was charged with being a repeat offender and was sentenced to five years. When he got to prison he tried his best to communicate with corrections officers but to no avail so he was put in solitary confinement where he spent the next five years. To be clear, since he was unable to communicate with the court despite repeated attempts, he did not know they were asking if he needed an attorney so he could not say yes and so the court proceeded without providing him with one. In all that time he never consulted an attorney and as far as anyone knows, never learned what he was sentenced for because he also could not read never having gone to school. When it was time for his release, he refused to tell the department of corrections where his address was on the outside world. He didn't have one. He was homeless. But that would not have mattered since he never understood the question being that he was deaf and could not read. So they took him back to solitary confinement where he died 37 years later. He is buried in a potter's field outside the prison yard. 43+ years, eventually sentenced to life in solitary confinement because he was deaf, illiterate, and black. That was Florida. I met the guard who found his body. He found the body in 1962. I met that guard in 1979. It wasn't until the 1970's when the records were being audited that his case was discovered. His jail records show that when he had his jail physical exam that it was discovered that he was deaf but there is no record that the court was notified since it was the responsibility of the defendant at that time to so inform the court, in clearly spoken English. That is the most extreme case I had ever heard of but I had heard of many cases where inmates sat around for long periods of time. When I was teaching reading to inmates there was a gentleman there who had been held waiting transfer to another county for 3 1/2 years and in that time had not once spoken to an attorney. He was waiting to be transferred to another county for a misdemeanor charge where the maximum penalty was one year. In that time the county that wanted him lost interest and dropped the charges in court but the paperwork was not properly filed so the custodial county was obligated to hold him until the wanting county came and got him and the wanting county didn't want him any more so they refused to get him. So he sat in limbo for 42 months. No trial, no attorney. No hearings. He just sat and sat. Finally they released him, 100 miles from home and gave him no means of transportation and ordered him to leave the county within 24 hours The offered him no compensation for all the time he spent in jail. He lost his wife, visitation rights with his kids, lost his job and his home. He tried to sue but since the county holding him was following the letter of the law, he lost his case. The last I heard he was wandering the streets of another county as a homeless person. He probably died on the streets since that was over 30 years ago.

That's our new police state type control. Very sad. A DUI ? Unbelievable. God bless this man.
I did 3 weeks in solitary in portland young offenders in 1988 where a screw called Mr Green (don't know if it's his real name) beat me up every time the door was open for the 1st 6 days. Wasn't allowed to talk to anyone, sat on a cardboard chair 12 hrs a day then a mattress on a floor 12 hrs at night. When I got back to Raleigh block after the 3 weeks they couldn't shut me up, I was so glad to have someone to talk to. As for the idiots saying sign me up, try it, stay in ur bedroom with no TV and someone bringing u 3 meals a day who ur not allowed to talk to, no reading material, nothing but u and the 4 walls, c how long u last. I guarantee most of u wouldn't last a week.
David Rees I tried and last seven minutes
I just wish that instead of having tax payers foot the bill, the bill comes out of the pay of the staff involved in the problem. It's like all these abuse cases occur and those responsible never really face any punishment because they hide behind an organization that is blamed but an organization is nothing without the staff and the staff shape the organization.
They dehumanized him and honestly no price can pay for that time lost.
this breaks my heart how can people be so cruel😔💔😰
to those who think his ordeal was "worth it".......go spend some time in a country jail. theyre worse than prisons in many ways. underfunded, understaffed, no mandatory sunlight even for the general population. the guards are completely desensitized to human suffering. I spent 6 months in county for DUI first timer, but the judge who sentenced me had lost loved ones to a drunk driver sooooooooo.......there's no state oversight. crowding is constant to the point where you may be living on the floor in a rubber canoe. the food is often labeled "not for human consumption" as I learned working in the kitchen. without a paid lawyer you'll stand NO CHANCE. and nobody cares because we are,after all, prisoners. without the chance for dialogue with another person for 2 years, its a miracle he's not insane.
its fucked up how judges base shit on personal levels and never ethical
John Hernandez Agreed John. there's a big difference between bonding out and coming back for sentencing in some nice clothes with a 20G lawyer at your side OR coming up cuffed and shackled from the holding cells sporting jailhouse clothing with a public defender who cant remember your name.
Solitary confinement is really hard, but for $15 million dollars? If being in solitary confinement all day for two years straight was considered "working", that's $856 an hour. I don't think it's worth it personally, but others might.
undercop5567 was that also minus the lawyers fee???
I'm a prison guard. And yes I must say this does happen but I'm not 1 of em who treats inmates poorly. I treat em they I'd want to be treated if I was an inmate
Serious but dumb question here? How much to break someone out?
People saying "I'd throw away 2 years for 22 mill" can not possibly understand. It's not throwing away 2 years. It's not wasting 2 years. It's spending every second of 2 years in what is beyond the most brutal experience you can imagine. People go mentally insane after a few months in the hole. Your teeth are rotting out of your mouth in excruciating pain. You do not shower FOR TWO YEARS. And when you are shitting and pissing on yourself more than once a day, it's a lot worse than you think. No sane human who understands solitary confinement would do this for any amount of money.
The keyword is "sane".
So this guy must not have had anyone looking for him on the outside. Because usually when you don't come home at night there is someone who gets concerned.
Pen Over The Sword S Um, not all lonely people are assholes..

I can't even understand how this is even possible at all to happen in today's world. Amazing. Not only does he deserve that settlement some other people need to be held accountable and possibly locked up in jail. Definitely someone need to be fired from that jail.
I see the pain in his eyes. I recognize it in others 🥺
The system as a whole, needs to do better then this.
This breaks my heart :(
I want to cry just look at his eyes.
Him: I've been in there for 2 years
Me: I don't think I'd last 2 milliseconds
That poor man, that breaks my heart. :(
He needs to take this to the Supreme court, this is a violence of civil and human rights.
No use, 8th Amendment No Cruel and unusual punishment, thats why he technically won the case
Ok so the man was payed with tax payer money so what was the real punishment here because this didn’t cost these people a dollar it only costed the taxpayers, did anyone get fired or what
Or jailed. They need to lock these people up.
"...and on the right, he seems like a prisoner."
Amazing journalism. Keep it up.
I was put into a behavioral facility for 3 days and I had a room and could walk down this small hallway and that was it, I didn’t know when I was gonna get out and that is the most terrifying feeling ever, people were telling me it could days or weeks..just being surrounded by walls it literally ingraved a anxiety in me I still suffer today, sometimes just sitting in my house I have to just get up and go for a walk to know I can still do that..I couldn’t imagine what this guy went through

What I can't believe, is that they actually won their appeal to reduce the compensation. Fucking unbelievable. He should have been given a lot more than 22 million, and the fuckers responsible should have then done two years solitary.
He totally did it to himself! He knew they forgot him on some kind of clerical error, and concocted this scheme to stay. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing, and he got paid big time.
Respect!
shotchaface
ROFL!
This is actually astonishing to me that he actually ended up with any compensation. Let alone $15 Million. As far as I've seen, people who end up in jail for something they didn't do or similar cases just typically end up being released with an "Oops! Sorry. My bad." and that's it.
Katie, your comment astonished me. Now we are both astonished.
All I can say is, if you really feel that way, you have no compassion at all.
Even if he had been convicted of the DUI (and he wasn't, that's part of the problem), do you really think what he went through is a fitting punishment for such a thing?
BigRalphSmith i think katie was just stating what she observes with cases like this; not that she agrees that it's fair...
Frozen AYCE
Thanks for your opinion but, if Katie truly feels that way, I'll have to see a post from her stating that.
I think I correctly interpreted her meaning and her silence following my post is deafening.
I think she was implying that the simple fact that this man was arrested is enough for her to assume he's "guilty of something" and that she doesn't have a problem with the man, not convicted of a crime, rotting in jail for two years. I mean, hey, he was arrested, who cares whether he got his day in court? The fact that he got arrested means he deserved whatever he got, right Katie?
BigRalphSmith fair enough. i guess we'll just have to wait for the big K to reply before we really know what she meant, lol. i tend to have a more optimistic view when interpreting things
Well how did he eat? I find that an insane statement, how can you be forgotten?
Why is that guy on the far right even talking? He had nothing informative or insightful to say.
He likes getting in fights, he's been punched in the face, but he does find it hard to endure tooth ache; surely that's informative, insightful commentary?
Geoffrey Dolan
trollolol hahaha
You just described the typical American
Genuinely lol'd
He never does.. lol
Currently a millionaire 😳 wow
To put this into perspective for everyone:
They settled for $15.5 Million Dollars.
That means for every day that he was in solitary confinement he made $20,547
That means he made $856 an hour for every single hour that he was in solitary confinement assuming he was in solitary for 2 years.
Yes this whole situation is fucked up, and it'll probably make anyone crazy to be in solitary for that long, but to be honest... I'd do the 2 years in solitary willingly if I made $856 an hour and over 20k a day. Two years of your life in exchange for complete financial security for the rest of it (assuming you invest well)? Yupp sign me up.
but the thing is he didn't do it for money, he didn't know he was going to get money so he probably did go crazy. but i would do it as well for half the money you don't even have to invest well.
HDCybersun What you fail to understand is that he had no forms of entertainment he probably read the same magazine and books thousands of times if he had even had any at all.
The thing is its not two years, its his sanity and just his entire life. It would have destroyed his mind and I couldn't understand what he has been through.
You should enlighten yourself with a little research on mankind as a social primate creature. The best explanation that science has to explain the extra complexity and huge size of the human brain versus other primates has nothing to do with our accepted perceptions of "intelligence" but has everything to do with the increased capacity for social processing, interpersonal memories ("bonding"), language, etc.
This isolation and treatment would drive anyone insane regardless of knowing about the coming payday or not. The point is that once you agree to it, absolutely nothing you say or do short of suicide can get you free from it. Processing that fact once it becomes reality will destroy your mind.
Not even to mention the toothache... That's straight up classic torture there added to the existing psychological torture. Check out the folks who volunteered to undergo water-boarding. They knew it would only last a couple of minutes; they knew their lives were never actually threatened; they even knew that the guys doing this to them were "friendlies" only doing it because they agreed to it. None of those facts help a bit - even the toughest S.O.B. "secret agents" of the NSA/CIA (?) undergoing counter-terrorism training only lasted 15 seconds.
While at it, check out the video of Mos Def undergoing force feeding treatment.
Would you still do it for the money? With a toothache?
Man you won't even last one week without the internet xD
What about Kalif Browder? He did 3 years in solitary.
That documentary made me cry sooo hard
Two years and $22 million? Sign my ass up.

"I handle pain really well. I like getting in fights. I got punched in the face many times and didn't mind." -Cenk
I know a guy who was falsely arrested and so poor he could not afford an attorney and could not pay any bail. Off and on his appointed attorney would come in and offer him a deal like 'plead guilty and I can get you 15 years', he replied 'no, I did not do anything wrong'. After 2 years of this, he finally demanded and demanded to see the judge, so the attorney set it up. The judge opened his folder and said, 'is this it?' He then slammed the folder shut and said 'free this innocent man now and I mean now'. Why does this happen? Because we allow it. Soon enough, it will be you and me in there.
Wow.

"I am glad they got punished." NOOOOO! THEY did not get punished. The taxpayers of that state got punished. Nobody went to jail over this. THEY got off scot-free.
You don't know what happened to the people responsible for it they probably have been sent to jail. Unless you know what happened to them you shouldn't really say anything about this.
I never said that's what happened you even said it yourself. I just said you don't know what happened they *probably* went to jail. Just go and rant about this to someone who give's a fuck.
Oh really? I don't feel any pain in my ass. Also I don't give a fuck... that you want to rant about shit that's not even real. Just keep thinking your smart and witty.

Prison is a lot different than solitary, i mean sure, it's no fun. But you have somewhat of a freedom in a prison and you're treated as a human. Solitary is the absolute extreme, so solitary would way more easily cause mental issues.
And you get help with medical, hygenic and other things in a prison.
I'd say those 2 years in solitary were worse than 29 years in prison tbh.
Since those 2 years not only take away the 2 years, but it takes away who you were as a person at all, might even make you commit suicide right away because of everything.
This is not right.

This isn't going to "set an example". The average person is treated poorly by the powers that be whether you are inside or outside of prison and it's getting worse. Gov't has abandoned any pretense of even being a "gov't by the people" which it hasn't been in decades. When I complained to my local city councilwoman about the meth lab in my neighborhood, I was treated very rudely & they never did much of anything and were very dismissive. Even the most local and in the past, most responsive of gov't officials, couldn't care less about constituents. That's machine politics in NYC & they no longer even pretend to give a damn.
You were probably messing with their source.
So true a toothache is the worst, I couldn't imagine being in solitary with NO HELP😫
This man lost his entire life and no amount of money will bring back his sanity! They made him into a ghost of his former self!
***** If you think that this man will ever lead a normal life after what happened to him, you are nuts! In that aspect he has lost his entire life. Locked in a sunless room, no contact with people in any meaningful way, no television, nothing to read and nothing to do for nearly two years. How do you think those conditions would have effected you?
John McCain chose to be a soldier and knew the risks involved. This man was "blind sided" when put into solitary confinement and forgotten by the "higher ups" and ignored by the rest. Not to mention that this happened in his own country! You are absolutely correct when you stated that people handle situations differently but one look in that man's face tells you that he did not fair so well. He has been broken...not as a prisoner of war but just dragged in off of the street!
2 years in solitary is A LOT. Though he still has his life ahead of him, he has 15 million to forget about the crime they committed against him.
I agree with Noella, others are idiots... He can barely talk in the interview. And now with that money and his previous life gone, it's likely he will get hooked on drugs then kill himself... very sad. I would do a lot off nasty shit for money, but stuck in solitary for this long without knowing your going to get out and get paid. I'd break. NOT worth it!! Tell me beforehand and I could EASILY handle it, thinking ahead... You're just see the money now and think you could do it. Could you do it without the money? That's what he did first, then luckily he got paid, so he can drown himself in alcohol and cocaine.
***** lol Too funny! fixed it XD
Who paid the 15,000,000. I know....... the tax payers of course......who trusted the sheriff and jail staff to do there jobs correctly. Did the sheriff loose even a penny of his salary "NO" did the jail staff loose even a penny of there salaries again "NO" . That is core of the problem. Start punishing the guilty not the innocent.

What I never used to realize about "solitary" is that it's not just solitary. In solitary, one might imagine you'd have books to read, maybe something to draw on, a mattress, blanket, lights out at night. But it is actually torture. No books allowed, nothing. Just a person, by themselves in a room, nothing to occupy them. It is torture, and should be treated as such.

My family of origin is not something I’m proud of. My neice chose a life of drugs and crime very early. She has been offered help at every juncture but prefers to live the “street” life. I hadn’t seen her in four years when she arrived at my elderly parents house. I returned from out of town to find her there. I asked why she was there and if she would go to treatment. Of course she refused help and left quickly. We realized she had stolen several pieces of jewelry from the home, she went through everything they owned as they slept I assume. Law enforcement took the offense seriously and located our property being sold by her on several websites. She was arrested for possession of meth, extasy and heroin out of state and extradited back to face charges. From jail she violated the NCO daily, calling us constantly. Was given probation and violated in two weeks. Was recently released after 364 days. Within three weeks she was at my elderly parents home. Again offered treatment and refused. I finally got her away from their property and I was the prisoner, living in fear of her returning to harm them. Before she could return, she carjacked an innocent man and was arrested after crashing the vehicle minutes later. Now we wait, will she be out in another year? Very likely and she will resume tormenting my elderly parents and I’ll be the one paying the price for her chosen lifestyle. I don’t know why I’m writing this here, I don’t have anyone to talk to. My friends don’t understand and I’m ashamed. My point is there are no answers when people chose a life of crime. Their victims suffer, their family members become victims. She needs help but it’s probably too late. Even if she accepted help, she will return to the life. I wish she’d be given intensive treatment from her first offense. Because of the way I grew up I choose to be a law abiding citizen, I have never harmed anyone and have been a productive member of society. Sadly my life has been effected my the choices of someone who rather victimize others and live an immoral life.

March 11, 2016 he was only 18 years old. He died in Benton county jail in Kennewick WA, his dad and sister won a small settlement for his death. It was murder. It was only 3 days before his 19th birthday. I miss him so much. He didn't deserve this kind of death. He needed medical attention but they didn't give it to him so he died alone in a padded cell all alone with no one around him. RIP. Marc Tia Maggie misses you so much. 💋💔🙏😇😘😥😥😥😥
Why was he in jail? Sounds like a criminal
@@realwildcherrydotes109 you can go to jail for not paying speeding ticket nowadays
@@deanmark6176 lol yep
So sad 😥
RIP your nephew. I watched the video of his arrest and he shouldn’t even have been in a jail, and instead a psych ward
This happens more often than people think. I knew a guy who was sentenced to jail for a month, but the jail lost his paperwork. The jail left him there for months. His lawyer finally got him out. If he didn’t have a lawyer he may still be there.
Oh right, they 'lost' his paperwork.
For some reason some people still don’t think solitary confinement is worse then the death penalty...
It's not worse if you are used to being sealed away from reality and sanity. The first month is the hardest after that your mind has lost its sanity and you loose the concept of time until you feel something else than emptiness.
Y'know that most people go insane after 1 week of solitary confinement right?, That in itself is a form of torture, no?. Not to mention because of this form of torture he failed to get a court hearing and only got 100 days off his sentence...
How do we know that there aren’t people in prisons right now in the same situation.
So close to 2,000,000 subs
No family members inquired about him??
Maybe he doesn't have any family.
starsiegeplayer . If he did have some prior to this, they're gone now... :(
Damn this nigga got ~23.2k per day that he was in solitary. Sign me up for a few weeks tho, I don't think I could take 2 years and come out sane.
+Greg Akopyan Yea sigh me 4 a month, its gonna be hard, but ill have 1mill after.
General Price Yeah, but I think the brotha gonna had some mental issues after he came out of 22 months in solitary.
+Greg Akopyan So white I can smell it.
And you'd leave after 2 days.
+Chris Elsa after an hour they would leave
+Greg Akopyan you i would presume
That's how it is,that's why when I was in jail I kept reminding them of my court date.they get mad but I DNT care because they are free,and that's why they don't care
two years? sign me up for the 15mill
How much u think I'd get for 4?
***** 30 mil ?
I hope your joking because if you think you could last 24 months in solitary your deceiving yourself.
For 15 mil I can do anything
Powerful MONEY.
Hell i'd do 2 years in solitary for 15 million
Batch No. 1 yeah right ... you d start crying like a baby after a week ...
No. 3 days would do it
going into solitary knowing its a finite time is much different than being put there for an indefinite period AND being forgotten.
+Batch No. 1 Yeah..even if you didnt know it was 2 years...it had could be 20 years.
+Batch No. 1 u would go mental, be in so much pain, knowing that they would never help, lose 2 years of ur life, miss out on whats new and such, and know that u were suppose to be realized, but hey forgot about it
The thing is, that 15 mill. wasn't paid by the people responsible. What happened to all of them?
It was paid by you(if you're american)
AtotehZ even if you are not American we paid for it ,the way the dollar is use all round the world
That's not how the system works however. Even if dollars are being used abroad they don't have to be a part of the US economy. It is the US economy that handles matters of the state, like paying up if they made a mistake. When it is the judicial system that failed it is hard to point the finger at any one man. This is why the 15mill is paid by the state.. further explanation seems pointless.
could you imagine being falsely imprisoned and then something like this happening to you.. nightmare fuel.
