Will he be in solitary just until he is sentenced or will this be his life for the next X years?
=========================================================
Derek Chauvin is being held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day in Minnesota’s only maximum-security prison after he was convicted of murdering George Floyd and led out of a courtroom in handcuffs, according to authorities.....
Mr. Chauvin, who is being held as he waits to be sentenced, will be alone in his cell for all but one hour each day, during which he is allowed to exercise. Even then, he will be kept away from all other prisoners and remain under the watch of prison guards inside the unit..........
Smh...solitary confinement in a cell alone for 23 hours a day is cruel and unusual punishment. Remove him from society, yes, but this isn't necessary. There's ways to ensure his safety that don't require this level of torment.
Our police and prison system both need an overhaul.
