Pretty interesting reading. If you scroll down to the bottom of the article you can download a pdf of dude's 64 page declaration.
The cell was so small that I could stand in one place and touch both walls simultaneously. The ceiling was so low that I could reach up and touch the hot light fixture.
My bed took up the length of the cell, and there was no other furniture at all…The walls were solid steel and painted all white.
I was permitted to wear underwear, but I was given no other clothing.
Shortly after I arrived, the prison staff began construction on the side pocket cell, adding more bars and other security measures to the cell while I was within it. In order not to be burned by sparks and embers while they welded more iron bars across the cell, I had to lie on my bed and cover myself with a sheet.
It is hard to describe the horror I experienced during this construction process. As they built new walls around me it felt like I was being buried alive. It was terrifying.
During my first year in the side pocket cell I was completely isolated from the outside world and had no way to occupy my time. I was not allowed to have any social visits, telephone privileges, or reading materials except a bible. I was not allowed to have a television, radio, or tape player. I could speak to no one and their was virtually nothing on which to focus my attention.
I was not only isolated, but also disoriented in the side pocket. This was exacerbated by the fact that I wasn’t allowed to have a wristwatch or clock. In addition, the bright, artificial lights remained on in the cell constantly, increasing my disorientation and making it difficult to sleep. Not only were they constantly illuminated, but those lights buzzed incessantly. The buzzing noise was maddening, as there often were no other sounds at all. This may sound like a small thing, but it was my entire world.
Due to the unchanging bright artificial lights and not having a wristwatch or clock, I couldn’t tell if it was day or night. Frequently, I would fall asleep and when I woke up I would not know if I had slept for five minutes or five hours, and would have no idea of what day or time of day it was.
I tried to measure the passing of days by counting food trays. Without being able to keep track of time, though, sometimes I thought the officers had left me and were never coming back. I thought they were gone for days, and I was going to starve. It’s likely they were only gone for a few hours, but I had no way to know.
I was so disoriented in Atlanta that I felt like I was in an episode of the twilight zone. I now know that I was housed there for about four years, but I would have believed it was a decade if that is what I was told. It seemed eternal and endless and immeasurable…
There was no air conditioning or heating in the side pocket cells. During the summer, the heat was unbearable. I would pour water on the ground and lay naked on the floor in an attempt to cool myself…
The only time I was let out of my cell was for outdoor recreation. I was allowed one hour a week of outdoor recreation. I could not see any other inmates or any of the surrounding landscape during outdoor recreation. There was no exercise equipment and nothing to do…
My vision deteriorated in the side pocket, I think due to the constant bright lights, or possibly also because of other aspects of this harsh environment. Everything began to appear blurry and I became sensitive to light, which burned my eyes and gave me headaches.
Nearly all of the time, the officers refused to speak to me. Despite this, I heard people who I believed to be officers whispering into my vents, telling me they hated me and calling me names. To this day, I am not sure if the officers were doing this to me, or if I was starting to lose it and these were hallucinations.
In the side pocket cell, I lost some ability to distinguished what was real. I dreamt I was in prison. When I woke up, I was not sure which was reality and which was a dream.
"Silverstein is serving life without parole for killing two fellow inmates (whom he says were threatening his life) and a prison guard, and has been buried in the depths of the federal prison system since 1983."
... and decided this POS wasn't deserving of my sympathy. The comments about how 'poorly' this scumbag was treated made me LOL. At least no one made him eat his own shit. Also... it appears as if he had less worries about his ass getting buggered than KCScott ever did. Wait. Does that even make sense? Whatever... I think he did alright.

Who said anything about sympathy? The details of the man's experiences are interesting regardless of whether you sympathize or not. Mutually exclusive things.

It would have been more just to put him under the needle after the first murder. If you read/skim his 64-page declaration, he's definitely been subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. Especially if you accept that he's been as well-behaved as he claims for well over 20 years. Hard to generate a whole lot of sympathy for a multiple murderer, but we are a country of laws.

Certainly not by choice. Fuck him. He can die in puddle of his own piss for all I care. Don't want to spend 20 years in solitary? Don't rob banks and stop killing people. It's not all that difficult.

I don't see anything cruel about his punishment. He has become quite depressed in solitary. What are we supposed to do? Take him out, give him privileges in hopes of cheering him up?

I am fairly certain my wife's pic was 'the background' on my cell phone the day I met you. Perhaps you were distracted by my bulging biceps when I showed you the pic?
Speaking of weirdness... I found your suggestion that we 'go lift and then take a steam bath' during a mini Troll Stop to be very odd at the time. But it makes a whole lotta sense now.
Furthermore, if I am so afraid of showing a picture of my wife... how come it was posted on this board 4 years ago?

IIRC, you posted a wedding pic of yourself and your wife, taking special care to obscure your face, while leaving your wife's mug out in the open for the wytches to do as they would. Who says chivalry is dead?

All I remember is a whole bunch of fags were outted that day when they called to see a picture of.... another man. I am sure KCScott was leading the charge.

...and with that, I do believe a new term has entered the T1B Lexicon Of Phraseology...
Lift and Steam
"Dude, that chick at the bar keeps looking over at you. Are you going to talk to her, or would you rather lift and steam?"
"Whoa...I'm flattered honestly, but I'm happily married and don't lift and steam. Not that there's anything wrong with that..."
"Frankly, I'm worried my son hasn't picked a sport yet in high school. You don't think he'd rather lift and steam, do you?"

As is evident from your response.
Is there no end to the YHKYOA in you?
And for the record -- I take care of foreclosed houses. Sometimes, the abandoned shit needs to be hauled off. For the money it pays, it's certainly not beneath me. For the actual housecleaning -- we have Ukranian hotties that do that.
And while this may be foreign to you -- I sleep at my girfriend's quite frequently... funny how that works. I've had the great fortune/curse to be gifted with superhuman sexual prowess, which makes me highly in demand... if it wasn't the OL, it would be one of the myriad previous witnesses to the Dinscock begging for my company. I also spend plenty of time at my actual abode, as well.
But on the plus side for you, I think AP wants to be your new best friend
Given the choice between a marginally heterosexual crossdresser and a confirmed meatgazer, I think I'd feel slightly more comfortable with the guy who leaves his jizz on the bathroom mirror, rather than the one who slings his game on UCan't's pics. A false dilemma, to be certain, but hypothetically speaking... you've usurped the bottom rung of the homoladder.
Now, just sit back and take that which you claim not to fear, lest I do more than hit random keys, and actually put you in your proper place, leaving you begging your (embarrassed) family to ignore the rather disturbing gym-pics on your phone, and pleading with them to dial up Dr. Kevorkian, STAT, as this is the inevitable end-game of your current path.
