Man Forgotten in Solitary Confinement For Years
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- "A southern New Mexico county announced Tuesday that it reached a $15.5 million settlement to end the legal battle over the case of a man who was held in solitary confinement for two years without a trial and was so neglected that he took out his own tooth.
The settlement stems from mediation ordered by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Dona Ana County was appealing a lower court decision that upheld a $22 million judgment that was awarded last year to former county inmate Stephen R. Slevin."*
A man arrested for a DUI was locked away without a conviction for two years...in solitary confinement. He was severely neglected, and he was forced to take out his own tooth- by the end, he hardly looked like the same man. What kind of justice is this? And should the prison system be reformed? Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Ben Mankiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies) discuss.

![Cops Kill Man As His His Wife Watches [VIDEO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PbI5HHz7fJU/mqdefault.jpg)
If he was forgotten, he would’ve died in a week from malnutrition. This was cruel abuse rather than forgetfulness.
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
Jason Kane agree
Excellent point. 👍
Call it what you wish, either is unacceptable
Twinky months? Lmfao. Try about 3 weeks without food. Water is much less.
I'd go insane after 2 hours
Wholesome Lad me too lol!
New too
Me
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
I’d go insane after 2 minutes :/ I have a deathly fear of being alone
People saying "sign me up" you would leave after 2 days, you have no light, a toilet, nobody to talk to, it messes with you, it makes you go crazy.
+Jovan Macias They do have a light. It just never turns off and people lose their sense of time because they don't know when it's night or day
+Caleb Edwards "wow that makes sUch a difference!1!1!1!"
+Jovan Macias
yeah but you can constantly think about where you buy your villas, what supercars you will have and also get in great shape lol
+Bobbin McBong after 2 years and, severe neglection, no social life, agonizing tooth pain, make them anorexic, no bathing, yep so worth it
+VaultBoy79 you would have no sense of time, you wouldn't know when it would end, it could seem like an eternity
Wait so the inmates complain the guys suicidal so you decide hey lets torture him for two years? I'm not understanding the thought process here.
Same
HashinStash99801 they put everyone suicidal in the hole
@@ConservativeJuggaloPodcast to make them even more sucicdal and crazy wow what a way to deal with that😃
Mr. Smile yea it’s fukd up they put mental health patients in there too.
@@legendaryfrolox6285 I thought you're job was to say "oh yeah yeah"
Wow, look at his eyes, poor man. He literally aged 20 years in just 2. Smh.
BoredRandomCraptv no he didn’t
Zahria Hardy apparently you don’t get what she means
1. 1. I do get what she means but she is using the word literally in the wrong way
That was HIS response, not the County's responsIBILITY. (Devil's Advocate Here.)
She just means he looks old get it now.
They didn't get punished for it...the tax payer did.
Nick Fotopoulos Damn straight.
He got 22 millions and still has those teeth ?.......WTF !! That amount could be fake.
Omar Shahabudeen ffs did you not watch the video? it was 15.5 million and that was probably really recently after he was released. Damnit Omar...
The police or the police force never gets punished for anything ! If face with proof of wrong doing the simply pay the person with tax payer money .
no pig is ever held accountable. !
David Poland the way people are trying now , in st. Louis. And Fergerson. The only way is for all people to know cops are no good and EVERYONE. Revolt !
They didn't forget him. they are sick people that abused him. How can you forget him if he is there... He even said they watched him deteriorate day after day after day. Forgot him my ass. This just shows how bad they treat people.
michael they obviously didn't forget him... they still fed him or he would be dead
It don't really matter if u black or white - Michael Jackson
michael no wonder crimes are still committed after they still want that pleasure and a sense of revenge this shit with torture isn’t helping
ITz.Mr.00wyc and so why you sound like another whiner please leave
Should have let him rot he was drunk driving
this guy was basically kidnapped
@@ConservativeJuggaloPodcast no you haven't shut up
@@Fame_N_Fortunes 😂
Jimmydaboss1 yes but 100 times worse than being kidnapped
HatchetFam Entertainment No you haven’t buddy. You haven’t been in a small pitch black cell with none for months at a time
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
what sort of disgusting animal could do this to another human being...
sadly, there's plenty of them
one that mistakenly thinks he so superior to others

stfu^
British Liberal I know why
He deserves much more than 15 million.
John Johnson yea
To much money can be a problem why do you think most lottery winners either kill themselves or become bankrupt and homeless
Cbg34q that’s because they spend too much. Having too much money can go to your head.
_-Vectr0z_-__, exactly. 15 million gonna last him years.
@@topperbopper4671 not necessarily
Our country is shady asf how can you even argue for 22 million ?
He should automatically get that no questions asked
he should get more
Ian Phillips he doesn't deserve the 15.5.
Ian Phillips af asf lol
Life with Poodle Pants why not you clown he deserves much more you must wrok in t goverment0
Saudia aribya
They gave him 22 million
Then some idiot appealed
And now only 15.5 million
That person has no heart

What about the guy who spent 40 years in solitary confinement after allegedly stabbing a prison guard. They didnt even have a trial. No ones taling about this guy
Thomas Silverstein? He have a website that is run by his supporters. Now it's 35 years of solitary confinement. BOP refuse to acknowledge that he not have any infractions since his crimes.
+lairdbearly You got more information?
+Mary Jewana The guy was already serving life without parole,has killed several fellow inmates and is a leading figure in the aryan brotherhood,i`d say there`s a huge difference between him (Silverstein) and average Joe beeing locked up and forgotten for 2 yrs :/
+Mary Jewana
all the men in prison for rape that didn't do it, many are killed, raped, tortured, and innocent.
Nada Two I would bet about 50% of people might try to do that. On the other hand, people will try to get their voice out there in hopes police/guards/etc will see their not lying.
how do you forget someone in solitary for 2 years?
i mean. they obviously gave this guy food and water right?
just seems odd. I mean. i would ask the guards every day. "hey, when is my court date?"
i mean. after a week or two of that don't you think the guard would get curious and ask his supervisor about it?
the whole thing seems off.
He secretly had it all planned with all the under paid guards. He was probably living like a king for the 2 years and split the 15 million with them afterwards :)
Ask the court about it. Didn't seem odd to them. What seems odd is his hair, beard, teeth and apparently his toenails
he ate his own toe nails and drank his own pea.
Anonymous Nobody you spelt pee wrong. unless you meant that he had peas with him and he was eating them. But then again, you said 'drank' so you probably did mean pee. Therefore you spelt pee wrong.
Go drink your pea. (like tea)
He wasn't forgotten. He was ignored.
Exactly its barbaric
Dogs Sing i don’t think we should go that extreme, this has happened a few times but not on purpose, they ‘forgot’. How about since they are the devil we just kill them all and have no justice system, So no one will be locked up. So you can get murdered and i won’t see your stupid comments
Sick!!😠
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.
They say that three days in the solitary confinement so I can give you brain damage I can only imagine the hell he went through
@@anattempttomakecontent776 I think he must have found a place where he left reality.
@@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.
Your allowed books and paper in solitary.
@@topperbopper4671 not if you are put there for suicidal reasons. He probably had nothing
I would be happy to waste 2 years of my life like this for 22 million, I prefer my own company, plus I have wasted long enough in education already and will waste years in a job trying to earn a fortune to retire early, 2 years is nothing, possibly just 2% of my life.
His thoughts exactly. Except he was likely a non-skilled worker that could never expect to ever acquire that kind of money.
A non skilled worker can actually get paid quite a bit because they usually have a constant stream of work, but yea, no hope of earning this much.
you are making a choice in return for a reward that you know is coming. This is a guy picked up for DUI who is abused and neglected and is in constant pain, fear, and despair for 2 years, probably assuming he is going to die in this cell having never even been charged with a crime. That kind of mental anguish and long term damage (not to mention long lasting physical debilitation) is a hell of a lot more than a number dude.
22steve5150
Don't kid yourself... He did it to get paid. He had to encounter dozens, if not hundreds of people, and didn't inform ANYONE!? No way in hell!
Gene Starwind Do you understand what solitary confinement is? You are in a little cell, your only contact is with the guard who shoves a plate of food through a slot on the door 3 times a day, if you want to see anybody else you tell that guard and the guard informs the jail staff (doctor, dentist, lawyer, anybody), and in solitary confinement the guards have been found to often not give a shit what the inmates say or claim. Did you not get the part where they wouldn't even let him see the prison dentist though he begged, pleaded, and screamed for it for months?!?
So many people saying "where do I sign up?!" Almost wish there was a game show or something so they could do it. And so we could see how fast people would bail out.
+Eric Carroll actually there is a show its called solitary people have stayed months in the shows cell and only talk to family once a month
Abdulla al-naimi And how do most people hold up? And what do they win?
Eric Carroll they get like 50,000$ and sometimes between challenges they get like small prize like cheese and most of the people get crazy and they snap and they have i think like a escape button or something watch the show theres one episode available on youtube write "solitary tv show" and it will come up
+Abdulla al-naimi Figured as much. thnx
A week and a half. Not months.
How do you forget about him, but keep feeding him? This is a terrible thing but I'm confused
Two words, "On purpose."
+Grant Spring its not that they forgot about him. they forgot about why he was there and at what stage he was in the justice system.
The law forgot. Not the workers.
+Grant Spring institutions tend to be compartimentalized
if that doesn't explain it look it up one hand doesn't know what the other does
it's a problem that all institutions face after growing to a certain extent
so feeding him is completely detached from a lot of other adminsitrative things, he didn't get medical care because he wasn't really there, but he got food because it has a lot lower restrictions or needs
Exactly. It took the workers becoming animals. Worst then animals. Animals don't do that
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. 💋💔🙏😇😘😥😥😥😥
Why was he in jail? Sounds like a criminal
@@realwildcherrydotes109 you can go to jail for not paying speeding ticket nowadays

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

+Drunken Hobo I did homeschooling for 9 months hardly left the house ever
I know what it is like
+John McAndrew I've been homeschooled all my life, fam lol
this is exactly how my past 5 years has been. it's absolutely awful
+Lolers ilol'd i had the same experience at a public school. im a smart guy tho
lol my whole life i wanted to be homeschooled but my parents wouldn't let me (they thought the social aspect was one of the most important parts of school). it severely fucked up my education, however, because i learn poorly when placed in an environment with other people and i just don't like being around other people for extended periods of time. i either end up going too fast and finish everything before everyone else and then have nothing to do and get bored or i slow down and get bored with the slow pace and give up entirely on learning. anyway, finally in high school my parents decided to let me be homeschooled -- it was honestly the best experience of my life. of course, i was also attending college classes at the same time, but those were only once or twice a week, which was much more manageable for me socially.
They forgot about him??? what crap who fed him? nope this was cruel inhuman treatment. ..he deserves every penny..
Amy Smith they forgot WHY he was in there ffs
Amy Smith deserves more then 2mil
Hardly deserves 15.5 million dollars because he was in solitary confinement. Please stop acting like we treat prisoners so inhumanly. I find this entire commentary totally sided. He'll just waste it on booze and crap. Complete bullshit.
Life with Poodle Pants wanna put yourself in his shoes ?
Amy Smith he didn't eat bro. Why do you think he lost weight?
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...
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.
And not a single jail employee will be held accountable.
Ian Battles They don't have a choice behind the matter. It was the government's fault. The prison guards can't just release someone from there mate.
he wasnt just in jail. he was in the hole.
The 15 million doesn't punish the people that did this to him. It punishes the taxpayers, us. We need to criminally and financially punish the people that were involved with this otherwise nothing will change. This was far from the first time something like this happened.
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.
Jonbob Bobnoj I'm not really concerned that you think I "shouldn't really say anything on this." No, I don't know what happened to the people involved because law enforcement agencies almost always will not tell the public what, if any, punishment they received and that's if they even release the names of those involved which they often don't. If you really think they are in jail then you have absolutely no clue. In fact it's almost laughable. As with all other cases like this they were probably given paid leave (vacation) until they were done investigating themselves (IA). You obviously have no clue of how hard it is for LEOs to lose their job in the US. Do a little research then get back to me.
dan hampton I really don't want to be any of those to be honest. It also takes a pretty weird person to tell someone else to have incest with their own mom.
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

+ClassicHmongMusic go to your bathroom turn your lights off no phone no nothing , sit there for 2 hours tell me how it goes
+Va Delux Add to that he didn't know it would ever end, he was in there indefinitely without trial, straight out of 1984 plutocracy.
+Has1b Apparently you don't know what solitary confinement is. sit in a room that is 5 by 4 meters, no lights and no one to talk to. I dare you to sit there for 24 hours.
Eric M you dont know what it feels like to be dirt poor and to then be donated 22 million dollars
Broz J Its not donation, its called compensations for what they did to him.
Someone had to bring him food, so he wasn´t forgotten.
+Zashorigin Yes, but he was left in there for a longer time than he actually 'deserved.' They forgot to take him out of it.
+Zashorigin Sure that's even worse so they didnt really forget him they just decided to leave him there knowing he didn't deserve it.
+Zashorigin So if someone fed you once a day, and left in solitary confinement for 2 years, is it o.k for you ??
+Mohan7 they're just saying he wasn't *actually* forgotten. He was ignored.
+Jessica Opal but being left in solitary for 2 years without any human contact or no contact with the outside world is inhuman and cruel, he didn't deserve it.

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.
Solitary confinement needs to stop being used at punishment. Sadistic, torture!!!
It's honestly not that bad. I spent 3 weeks in solitary in the michigan dept of corrections. People seem to think that the hole they see in movies and tv is what they use, but its not. They are just single man cells. It's quiet, you have access to books. newspapers and generally the same food as the rest of the prison population (unless you are throwing food at officers then they put you on nutriloaf). You need someplace to put incorrigible inmates. there are some really scary people in the joint.
***** It depends on the individuals behavior. If they're acting a fool and lighting their stuff on fire, spitting on the CO's, throwing food etc. etc. then they lose those privileges. I did 8 years total in level 2 and level 4 facilities. I have seen levels of violence you only read about in novels. When you see someone get disemboweled with a razor melted to a toothbrush over a piece of chicken in the chowhall you'll understand the need for segregation units.
if i went to prison i would want to be in solitary confinement my whole time there i wouldnt want to leave my cell ever
Dark Souls Pyro sped alert
Michael Cowan Um, may I ask, why were you arrested? I'm not insulting, I'm just generally curious, because you're acting tame and civilized.

We stopped solitary for cruel and unusual punishment a long time ago. And then it was brought back because the US sucks.
those of you saying sign me up are crazy. being in solitary confinement id imagine is like being dead but your alive. you dont know when its night or day. no one to talk to. stuck in one spot all day that would feel like an eternity. sleep would suck cuz ur either on the cold floor or a hard bed.....probably get 1 meal a day which is shitty, cant use any personal items like a phone or any books or nothing smh......yea sounds wayy worth it.

Who says you even get food to eat? They may not give you anything sometimes. Even if you do get food. It's rotten disgusting food.
Humanoidfreak no it's not shut up... is dreadful you're on your own can't do anything it's shit but they feed you the same food as the rest of the inmates
Spent a Christmas in there
Shit was whack asf
Dani Neira not the same food. In the hole they get 1 meal that is called a loaf.
2 years too long!
How does that happen?
Answer: Only in America!

John M they wouldn’t because as dumb as America, think about it, your country voted in Donald Trunmp

@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?

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.

I really don't like that large guy. "I like getting in fights" STOP TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF. YOU DO THIS IN EVERY VIDEO. TALK ABOUT THE TOPIC FFS.
Also I know it depends on the tooth, etc. but you can't honestly say it is the worst pain in the world... just the worst pain in YOUR world.
Gina G Oh I know that. I have had terrible tooth aches with nerve damage to my face because of them and they are awful and I can imagine if left untreated become pretty unbearable. But I do not believe it to be factual to say it is the WORST pain in the WORLD.
I have had my appendix burst and my organs infected and I can tell you that the pain of that is way worse than a heavily infected tooth.
At least in my experience... But I suppose it is all relative because pain is subjective.
Gina G There are also things like nerve diseases that make people feel like they are being burnt alive and other very awful and painful illnesses/diseases, etc. I just don't think a tooth ache can be the worst pain in the world. and in any sense you can't measure such a thing.
Gina G Thank you for speaking to me so politely. It is often rare online.
I certainly do not disbelieve the prisoners pain levels were extreme. I just take qualm with the man who is reading. I find his way of talking grates on me as it is often just a statement about him or an expression that he states as though it is literal and factual.

was it fun?
He must be going for another 2 years, I see. Enjoy that 44 mil man.
Naw bro.... Not worth any amount of money.
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
How do u forget someone in a tiny ass cell
Jeff LaFlare comment fits the profile pic
he was probably an asshole
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
There are inmates that are left in solitary for 10 years.
Michael Hope No there isn't
LJ Trust me there is.
Michael Hope. the point is he wasnt supposed to be there
LJ lol..yes..there is actually
LJ. Albert Woodfox spent 43 years in solitary. There are many that have spent at least 10 years in the hole.
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.
nunya biznez damn thats a long comment
nunya biznez Absolutely disturbing. :(
This is awful
This is sad.
TheStarkz yup
TheStarkz brah
It's 100% fake
Even caged up animals are in shock
no one fired for this????
john doe nope, our justice system is designed to protect anyone on law enforcements side.. no matter how evil they may be
carolyn mmitchell so if they shot and killed him for no reason the guards still wouldnt get fired
Jeff the Savage They would get fired.
Jacob Hammond no they wouldn’t.
Og Stryve Trust me, they would get fired.
I just wonder where anyone he knew was, friends, family, whoever. Wouldn't at least one of them be asking questions?
He may not have had any family.
I dont think you know what ''Solitary Confinement'' means
+mcanuschees yes but that doesn't mean his family and friends outside aren't aware that he's not been tried and that he's been gone all that time.
Yeah, that makes me suspicious. How did NO ONE notice his absence? Even if he didn't have family... or friends.... He must have known people. Coworkers, neighbors, etc
Tin Borgman seriously...., I think a lot of people do not realize that there are people who can disappear w/out much notice. In jail or not.
Why didn't his family do something on his behalf?
Right?
They probably didn't give a damn about him. They probably do now since he's $15 million richer.
+Scottie Pimpin wow if they do now , that would be so fucked up.
crystal4ever yep, that happens though, hopefully he didn't fall for it.
+Paula Howard Who knows but im sure they regret it now!! HAHA
Him: I've been in there for 2 years
Me: I don't think I'd last 2 milliseconds
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
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
His suffering aged him terribly. My heart goes out to him.
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
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.

I would undoubtedly go insane before even the 2-month mark. BUT 2 YEARS???
PluriiGaming you wouldve gone insane within the firat couple of hours or even a day or 2
lol u would go insane within 2/3 days
I would go insane already in half an hour😂😂
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..
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'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?
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???
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
Two years and $22 million? Sign my ass up.
Your a moron in the first degree. Even a day alone you would be crying for attention let alone two years. No money can justify this cruel torture
japje a Not true. If you are a introvert it will be the easiest thing ever. You are most likely a extrovert based on your theory
That's real easy to say.
***** that's not how introversion works....
Guys he was probably joking.
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.
That's our new police state type control. Very sad. A DUI ? Unbelievable. God bless this man.
WHere was his family? Why were they NOT ASKING about him...
Eric Schmidt Lol
Some people don't have family. :/
I'm glad I do. That's so sad.
Eric Schmidt he did I know them personally
IB Watching you know I see a book deal and a movie deal
look at him
Never mind the dental could’ve gone mental, great line.
this breaks my heart how can people be so cruel😔💔😰
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....
bet there is no reason why they where doin there job man
Kyle Nyberg
Oh, just as the Germans who were in charge of the Nazi concentration camps were doing "their job" ????
This was sad to me 😞 I feel bad for him it was over a dui so it was no reason
DUI=no reason to be punished
Yea and murderers get out before him omg the poor man
22million for being meglected for like 2 years?? Ya dud i barely make 2 dollars in 2 years
I know, right? DUI, its not like he killed someone. Very sad story. This man really was wrongfully treated.
"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.
Jonbob Bobnoj
You're incorrectly saying that they have probably been sent to jail and then telling other people they shouldn't say anything unless they know what happened. Hypocrite much?
Find me any proof they have been sent to jail or even punished in the slightest. In fact, just find me their names. You won't be able to because in the thousands of cases I have followed and been involved with over the decades, LEOs are almost never held responsible. Qualified immunity keeps them safe from any criminal or civil prosecution and the police unions/ corrections unions are massive and powerful and will do anything to keep the officers from losing their jobs even if their superiors would have fired them which doesn't usually happen either. You just have no clue.
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.
Jonbob Bobnoj
Awww.. is someone butthurt cuz I called them on their shit? Seems like it. And according to all your posts on this video, you apparently give a fuck otherwise you would not have posted so many times.
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.
What about Kalif Browder? He did 3 years in solitary.
That documentary made me cry sooo hard
This has some of the worst subtitles/(CC) I have ever seen. More than half of the sentences have incorrect words. "It makes sandwiches" instead of "It makes savages" .... it just gets worse from there, unreadable.
Yeah i know....Its fukin horrible...lol
+Vincent Beers The subtitles are automatically generated. It's something that just doesn't work yet. lol.
+Cathal Cleary Interesting, it didn't even occur to me that youtube CC was auto-generated. For whatever reason I assumed they were created by real people the way it was done for TV for decades. With TV when you get bad CC it's usually because it was out sourced to a non-english speaking country and they spell phonetically.
probably referring to a woman
+Vincent Beers It's still a beta thing. It's gotten somewhat better over the years :)
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
How does this have 1,001? Dislikes. Proves my point. The world is going down the shitter. Enjoy.
+kragseven I don't get what you're saying
wait, I get you.
This breaks my heart :(
I want to cry just look at his eyes.
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
They dehumanized him and honestly no price can pay for that time lost.
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.
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
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.
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
I'm not an expert on prisons. Can someone explain to me why the system believes solitary confinement is the answer to suicidal tendencies???
That poor man, that breaks my heart. :(
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
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.
Wait a minute, he suffered 2 years and got over 20 million? I've suffered all my life where my 20mill at tho? :D
FACTS lmao
Glitterpoop fight me
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 agree
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".
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... :(
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
how did he get his food and water? He would be dead in less than a week without water.
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
**worse
30 days is BAD -- 22 months is TORTURE
yea
He got a "judgement" for $15.5M - not the money! Getting the judgement means nothing, because the court does not enforce it.
Wont happen again
Yeah...... Todally....
Already happened
