27 years of confinement

Holy cow, so this guy named Tommy Silverstein who has been kept in solitary confinement for the last twenty seven years was let out the other day. Twenty seven straight years with no human contact, nothing but your own thoughts and small door that opens for food and water. Apparently "terrible Tommy" killed a correctional officer in 1983 and has been in seclusion ever since. He described the twenty seven year stretch as "a slow, constant peeling of the skin." This guy is freaking psychotic, he's been apart of the Aryan Brotherhood, addicted to heroin, and killed four people, one of which was a 51 year old prison guard. After he murdered the guard he was transfered to 7 by 6 foot square room with 24 hours of lights and security cameras. Tommy was cramped more than normal due to the fact that he is 6 feet tall. He has been transfered to over 5 prisons, all maximum security and one of which being leavenworth in Kansas. At one point during his confinement a bunch of Cubans rioted and took over the prison, seized Tommy and tried negotiating with the authorities trying to get lighter sentences. Now all he does is yoga, dram, and write letters to loved ones.
