Angola 3 Almost 41 years in Solitary Confinement Prison

[thekingsmen]

This year April 17th will be 41 years.


A federal judge has once again ordered the state of Louisiana to release Albert Woodfox, a former Black Panther who has spent more than 40 years in solitary confinement. Woodfox and Herman Wallace, another prisoner of the "Angola 3," were convicted of murdering a guard at Angola Prison. The Angola 3 and their supporters say they were framed for their political activism. On Tuesday, the same federal judge that ordered Woodfox's release in 2008 again ruled Woodfox should be set free on the basis of racial discrimination in his retrial. It was the third time Woodfox's conviction has been overturned, but prosecutors successfully reversed the two previous victories. The state is expected to appeal once again to keep Woodfox behind bars. We're joined by two guests: Robert King, the third member of the Angola 3, who was freed in 2001 after three decades behind bars; and Mwalimu Johnson, a longtime member of the Angola 3 support team.

That man don't care. He is worried about Over-throwing Sovereign Nations, Drone bombing kids in Pakistan and Yemen and taking guns away from the people. He is beyond busy.

40 years in solitary? that man would be lucky if he's still sane. long periods of isolation like that make people crazy. sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me.
