After 15 years in solitary, convicted terrorist pleads for contact with others
Ramzi Yousef, convicted in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, asks a judge to move him into a more open prison environment. Some agree his treatment is unconstitutional.

“he is trying to persuade a federal judge to at least release him from solitary confinement. The judge is expected to rule soon whether the suit will go to trial.
Despite his good behavior, Yousef says, he is being kept isolated because he is a convicted terrorist, something he can never change — and that, he argues, is a violation of his due process of law.”
He should have been sentenced to death and executed, then we wouldn’t have this problem.
Sure why not? Let him out of solitary and let him mingle with deranged criminals about to be released. No doubt his influence on those troubled souls will be positive. Think the Federal judge will figure it out?
He should have been executed, but the fact that he was not does not negate the Constitution.
Solitary confinement with zero human contact is Cruel and Unusual punishment. You’re either for the Constitution or you’re not.
I can think of a way to end his solitary confinement. But it’s irreversible. And terminal.
douse him with pig oil and sent him to Allah.....
Occasionally, there should be streaming video on the Internet from his cell to piss off Muslims around the world.
The last thing that is needed in the general prison population is anyone spreading the word of his evil, vile cult.
Give him a pig to share his cell with.
I’m sure there are some lonely hogs somewhere that would cuddle up to him if there was slop provided in the bargain...
Maybe prison officials should allow random sex offenders to have conjugal visits - voluntary or otherwise - with this guy.
What is the cost of one bullet in the head?
