1. He has died.

I hope he didn't get told about the re-indictment. It would have been just a final indignity to him.

Herman Wallace dies after release from 41 years in solitary

Herman Wallace, 71, died on Friday morning, his lawyer told the BBC.

He was freed after a federal judge ruled his 1974 murder conviction violated his right to a fair trial.

Wallace, one of the so-called Angola Three convicted in the murder of a prison guard, was diagnosed with cancer this year. They always maintained their innocence.

"He passed away early this morning among people who cared for him very much," Wallace's lawyer, George Kendall, told the BBC.

2. these prison people are fucked up. Solitary confinement for that long?

How does one even continue to be human at that point? And of course there is no race aspect to their treatment--they were all members of The Black Panthers.
