On a personal level, the problem for me is that I draw zero comfort or assurance from those who tell me how tough it's going to be for him. All the talking heads on TV this morning were almost pleading with their viewers to believe Moussaoui will "rot" in prison. Almost all of those talking heads are Leftists who do not support the death penalty, who do support enemies of this country, and who would back any Jimmy Carter-type president who would turn Moussaoui over to the French government.
I take no comfort from all the assurances whatsoever, because I don't believe them.
I understand. I can only say that he will be in segregation...forever. He will have a routine, 23 hours in a cell and 1 hour of exercise, alone. If he tries to break this routine, there are consequences....a pair of shirt and pants, a TV and reading material are a privilege, not a requirement. If he will not eat.....he will be taken to medical and be fed, in a segregation cell. This will be his existence. The CO's get to go home, the inmates in these facilities do not.....they will push every button, try every break of the rules, try killing themselves and in the end.....will be doing the same routine without a chance of release, forever. This is why I say....worse than death.
