How does this not violate several Constitutional amendments? Unexplained solitary confinement sounds like cruel and unusual punishment, and not allowing his lawyer to see him is clearly a denial of fair representation.

I'm not sure about the legality of the diet, but maybe someone more informed on prison law could step in.

Rooming him with terrorists and gang members? Denying entry for a woman not wearing a bra? (which, in addition to making no sense, is also creepy) This is clear abuse of state power, and I don't understand how people aren't outraged over it. But then again, the state effectively owns the media, so there's yet another obstacle in Weev's path.

In a word: disgusting.




This part confuses me.

>"learned he was sharing a 10x10 cell in solitary with a cellmate"

I'm not sure how that works.


I suspect that being locked up alone with one of the world's most obnoxious trolls is unfair punishment for whoever that cellmate is.


Bunk beds. It's not "solitary" per se since he is with someone else...I think the actual euphemism is SHU or Special Housing Unit.
