Derrick Chauvin is in solitary confinement...

[Under The Radar]

I suspect the guards will treat him like a king, but he is in danger with other inmates.

1. Solitary confinement is torture.

[we can do it]

3. Not as bad as having someone kneel on you until you die.

[Runningdawg]

8. I agree he should be in gen pop.

[WestIndianArchie]

9. TORTURE

No, torture was kneeling on George Floyds neck for 9 minutes as he called for his mama. I can't wait until they reach him in prison 😉. I have zero sympathy for that animal Chauvin

[Rustyeye77]

17. If you want him in gen. pop. , then he's dead.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

22. Prisons don't keep people safe.

[Rustyeye77]

25. Ok.... Whats your point?

You stated Solitary is torture.

He IS much safer in solitary.

Do you REALLY want him in the general Population?-- knowing he may/probably be killed ?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

27. I'm being a dick about incarceration in general.

[MrsCoffee]

28. Well let me be a dick about murder in general.

He deserves to be incarcerated for the rest of his life.

End of.

[Rustyeye77]

29. No...it's a tough subject.

Society has to protect itself and with that comes tough choices. There are bad/evil / amoral people out there.

The easiest way to answer some of these questions ask yourself if the person killed was your loved one, what would you want?

Also, the toughest prison in the US is SUPERMAX.

All solitary.
NO ONE killed
They have b/w TVs
One hour a day exercise.

And one more thing...ask yourself is prison for punishment or rehabilitation ?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

30. As someone who is working on prison abolition, I've definitely thought about these issues.

31. Well.... Good luck with that.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

32. Thanks.

[Rustyeye77]

35. I just have to ask....sorry

If someone , gd forbid, killed a loved one of yours, what do you want to happen to him?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

37. It's impossible to know, of course.

In whatever model of justice we might have at the time, I would want those closest to the victim to be centered in a process that also provided true rehabilitation to the perpetrator.

[SeattleVet]

19. He'd probably only last about 9 minutes and 29 seconds in Gen Pop.

[soothsayer]

2. Alone in his cell is fine. Behind bars is all that matters really

[frogmarch]

4. Was he locked up before the trial? nt

[joshcryer]

14. He was out on a million dollar bond.

No one knows who forked over the $100k.

[lpbk2713]

15. Could be the union.

They know how to remain anonymous.

[Jilly_in_VA]

5. Ask me if I care

He can either feel sorry for his miserable self, or he can reflect on what he did. It will probably be the former. Sociopaths are incapable of self-reflection.

[WestIndianArchie]

6. It's great that the murderer is in danger!

Nothing bad about that at all

[marble falls]

7. Too bad, so sad. On to the next murdering cop. Lock them up.

[Under The Radar]

10. I was just thinking that Epstein's cell mate is lonely.

[marble falls]

13. He still thinks he's going to get a skate on this.

[Jim G.]

11. He Should Probably Get Used To It...

He's likely to be alone with his thoughts for quite a while.

[Mike Nelson]

12. I think...

... that's best. We have a society that is working... justice is working correctly... he needs to be sentenced and serve his prison time. If he was put in with other inmates, it is likely he would be killed quickly.

[bluestarone]

16. The ONLY problem i have is

We will NEVER know how he's treated i guess? Hell he could be getting SPECIAL treatment, even phone calls and internet privileges not normally received.

[abqtommy]

18. It's well-known that incarcerated police officers have a very short survival time if they're

placed in amongst a general population of prisoners. The same goes for child molesters.

[Renew Deal]

20. Do you have any actual stats for this "well known" fact?

[abqtommy]

24. I'm an old guy. I know stuff. Feel free to show me that I'm wrong.

[Renew Deal]

34. You have proven it's a BS claim that you can't back up.

I didn’t even have to help you with that.

[USALiberal]

21. Link please! Nt

[brooklynite]

23. "I suspect the guards will treat him like a king" - another unsupported stereotype

[lindysalsagal]

26. Not sure if life in solitary is what I'd choose. How long till he wishes for the electric chair?

And all this speculation about the guards: They're not in great psychological shape, either. I can't imagine knowing I'd be working with hardened criminals in that cold, hard lonely place until retirement. It's got to be a pretty bad place, mentally. They will probably do the minimum required for the job.

I just hope some of the guards are black.....because then he'll be totally dependent on black officers, and come to see them as valuable people. Only then will he understand the fact that he took a human being from this world.

[Towlie]

33. That's bad logic! The Confederacy started a civil war because they saw blacks as valuable people.

36. I hope his 10-minute power trip that day was worth it to him.

He'll have a good long while to think about it. I know it's bad karma to wish ill on people, but if anybody deserves karma to bite somebody in the ass, it's this waste of oxygen.
