Anyone who thinks he's going to be treated poorly is fooling themselves.

You are correct. His demeanor will determine his privileges. If good.....

He'll be in 23 hour a day lock-down. He'll get one hour of exercise a day in a cage, he'll be put in arm restraints (and possibly leg restraints, depending on his demeanor) to and from the exercise area. He'll get shackled to and from the shower, which he will be allowed every three days. He will be provided the same food as other prisoners, if he decides to throw his food at the correctional officers he will be provided a food loaf...same food, but processed in a blender then baked with bisquick.

He will be allowed reading materials, delivered from the library. He will be allowed to shave with a razor that is inventoried and handed to him by his CO on entrance and exit to the shower. He will have full access to his lawyers, through a isolation booth during regular visiting hours. He will have a TV, 2 pairs of under ware, 2 pairs of socks, 1 blanket, 1 set of sheets, 1 pair of inmate clothing and 1 religious book in his cell.

That's the good life. If he is bad....he will will have a reduction in the above privileges....all the way to a paper gown and a CO staring at him, 24 hours a day. Suicide IS NOT an option.....

Repeat, ad nauseum.....forever.

Frankly, it's the worst fate imaginable....and yes....I'm a CO.

The worst fate imaginable

Oh come on. If you follow the rules, it doesn't sound that bad for a guy who likes to be alone like this creep does. I find it interesting that he gets TV, as well as non-religious material. That's even better than I thought he got. Again, it's not Club Med, but it's not going to be that bad for this guy. He's going to enjoy spending his time praising Allah.

I can imagine far worse "punishments", including real torture or the death penalty. This jury was a joke.

If Moussaoui had been sentenced to death, he still would have claimed that he won and America lost, playing the martyr's role to the hilt.

The upside here is that there won't be any more terrorists put on trial, once enough evidence exists to bring charges, CIA or SOF will deliver sentence, 5 in the head. Not that we needed the lesson, Clinton's entire 8 years stands as stark proof of the idiocy of prosecuting terrorists under the criminal justice system.

Lots of mountains around Canon City. If Moussaoui values his head over pink mist, perhaps he should decline his outdoor exercise sessions.

The DP was the most fitting penalty for this pos. But we have committed the task of sentencing to juries. On the whole, I prefer that much more than putting it in the hands of a judge.

Does this verdict indicate the death of decency or that WE have forgotten what happened on 9/11. I don't think so. It was one case, one jury. We have executed other terrorists. Heck we executed McVeigh.
