In your opinion unless you are a verified mental health expert? The closest jails did not offer segregated cells or mental health services at the time RA was transferred to Westville IIRC. Cass County just recently upgraded their jail and began offering limited MH services.In no world is solitary confinement in a maximum security state prison better for a defendants mental health or safety than a solitary cell in a county jail.
So there’s that.
RA was not in solitary confinement in Westville or Washburn, he was held in the segregation units. There were other people in the group of pod like cells, he wasn't sitting in a dark hole alone somewhere and did have the usual 2 person cell to himself. He was seen by MH professionals and prison staff daily, had rec time, had a tablet to browse and make calls to his family.
The prison actually cleared the entire cafeteria area for RA to have a face to face visit with his wife. Not done for anyone else.
There's that to consider.
