Doesn't matter what you believe. The facts are that they do have TV's in their cells. They can write and receive letters. In time, they can receive visitors -- lawyers, for example.

It would be a tough life for someone with a gregarious personality. However, for someone who doesn't mind solitude, it's not a bad life. You have no responsibilities. No bills. No taxes.

Unless we were going to cut his head off and stuff him with pig sh*t, I suspect this will become his hell on Earth.
