What is life like after solitary confinement? - BBC News

After spending 43 years in solitary confinement, a US judge has ordered Albert Woodfox to be let out of prison. Yet the Louisiana Attorney General asked the court to block his release.

BBC's Rajini Vaidyanthan and Franz Strasser look at what life could be like for Woodfox should he eventually win his freedom.

7 years without any human interaction!?!? That seems like it would be worse than a death sentence!

i was thrown in jail today and had to spend 5 hours in solidary confinement, and it was the worst day of my life, it comepletely broke me down and is inhumane

I believe solitary confinement is most humane when punishment, rehab, warning, law, fear, motivation doesnt help these guys..its good enough that they are not put to sleep.. Or organs removed...

I think it would be quiet nice to chill in Solitary instead of having to share a cell with a bunch of thugs.

This is how solitary confinement feels like - No people to tell you what to do an you dont have to look at anyone, total isolation an solitude to commune with oneself. It's the best expierence everyone should endure for 25 to life. This world would be a better brighter world with everyone in solitary confinement.
