I’ve heard that Supermax out there ain’t no joke.

23 hours in an 8x10 concrete cell with virtually no visitors.

Most peoples minds would check out after a couple of years.

Yeah, I’ve watched a lot of prison shows on YouTube.

That’s how I came to the “LWOP worse than death penalty” conclusion.

Horrible, absolutely horrible.

There’s a guy who murdered a cop in my home town back in the 1980s. He was 27 at the time. It’s in NY, so no death penalty.

They put him in ad-seg in Elmira, which is a dump compared to ADX. He hasn’t seen the sky since except for once when they brought him to Syracuse for a court hearing about something. That’s it.

Not know about the specific SuperMax he’ll be in, but I can say from experience it wouldn’t be fun. Years ago I got to tour a new SuperMax prison. Window to outside was maybe 2” wide and a tiny window in the door. They were fed thru a slot and got one hour outside in a concrete “moat” with a chain link a d razor wire roof.

This is an article about the Supermax facility in Florence, CO, where I assume this theatre killer will be spending the rest of his days. Also check out the video at the bottom of the link. If this is truly what this facility is like, most would choose death.

The Supermax in Colorado is a Federal prison. This guy will be sent to a state prison.

He won’t be sent to any supermax at all, unless he really starts acting up in prison.
