He's goin' to SUPERMAX!

"...Set in the high desert of Colorado, Supermax holds America's most dangerous criminals. They include terrorists, murderers — even members of the Taliban.

They spend up to 23 hours a day in soundproof cells, locked behind solid steel doors. They eat their meals in these 8-by-12-foot cells, where the desk, the stool, even the bed are made of concrete.

The only window — 42 inches high and 4 inches wide — looks out on a small recreation yard that prisoners might never get to use. When inmates are allowed out of their cells, they are strapped into leg irons and other restraints and are strip-searched.

They call this place the Alcatraz of the Rockies..."

"...Everything within the cell is of pre-poured concrete: the sink, toilet, shower, and slab that is the bed..."

"...After several years... may be allowed outside for recreation, but will never again set eyes on the beauty of the mountains that surround us here in Florence...

...Because of the high walls surrounding the small recreation area, "he will only be able to look upward, into the sky..."

"...23-hour lockdown leads some prisoners to develop symptoms of mental illness: depression, increased paranoia, delusions and suicide..."

This sounds like hell on earth. And to think that people here wanted to make him a martyr.

The guy has got 30-40 years of torture ahead of him. It would have been too merciful to kill him.
