By every definition of the words “solitary confinement” Richard Allen was housed in solitary confinement for 13 months, this isn’t “baloney” that his lawyers are perpetrating this is a fact
She testified that that thought had crossed her mind, she testified that he was suffering from severe psychosis.
To help put this in perspective the UN’s law is as follows
“UN Nelson Mandela Rules
These rules prohibit the indefinite or prolonged use of solitary confinement, and define 15 continuous days or longer in solitary as torture.”
Mind you that he was in solitary confinement for 13 months. This law was written to try to keep 3rd world countries from being able to torture prisoners with solitary confinement, again, Richard Allen has never been convicted of a crime.

That makes absolutely zero sense. He’s a threat to himself because he’s suicidal. He was suicidal well before he was even arrested.
What’s your solution? Where do you put him that ensures he won’t kill himself, while also ensuring that other inmates don’t have the opportunity to kill him.
You handle it like you would every other single suicidal inmate in this country.

Richard Allen is very far from the first person to get arrested with suicidal tendencies and a target on their back. It happens every day, what doesn’t happen ever is what’s currently unfolding in Indiana, and more and more people are finding out about what has happened here.
No. I’m racking my brain for a case with similar circumstances and I’ve got nothing.
