    Solitary confinement isn’t really solitary most of the time. It’s far less pitch black rooms with a slat you slide a tray of slop into, and more of a lights always on, talking to your neighbor through the vents/shouting chess moves at each other.

    Not that it isn’t inhumane in its own way, but many people seem to think that you’re basically sensory deprived and that’s just not the case.

      I mean, what would like to see- which probably is cruel an unusual, but I can be like that sometimes- is trump given a news feed and maybe social media, but he can’t respond/post. he just gets to passively watch as the world moves on and forgets about him.

      • I would love for Trump to live to 120 with a totally sound mind and experience total irrelevance. That would be wonderful punishment. In a cell would be great, but I’d settle for him to be alone in a cheap motel room with cable TV.

          I’ve been saying just that for years. It’s the only thing that fits, total destruction of his towering self image.

          naw. all of it. together. So he can see the slow slide to irrelevance.

            And that’s just the thing. The more the news moves on from Trump and talks about other people, the more Trump would label it as woke/liberal/socialist. FOX News could, five years post-Trump-imprisonment, spend all their time on the important right wing subjects of the day and Trump would think they’ve gone lefty because they weren’t talking about him.
