There is a prison out in Florence with beautiful mountains and generally pleasing place, but this prison is not like what we think it is. This prison is for the worst of the worst. This is the ADX prison and this prison should be shut down.
The ADX prison cells have only about 10 feet of space where the prisoners stay and sleep which about the size of a bathroom. The bed and toilet is there within arm’s reach which made their vision very small and could not see long distance. The prison cells are very far apart because the prison does not want the inmates socializing and talking to each other. They are fed in their cells and they are in there for twenty-three hours. This is solitary confinement.
Solitary confinement is a type of torture that mentally breaks the will to do anything in the soul and body. The mental strength is the torture and physical strength is the side effect. The will to live is the part that this prison destroys.
People in the prison cannot see very well and their vocal cords are terrible due to how long they do not talk and socialize. People began to go crazy. Some people were able to commit suicide and some people couldn’t. One person befriended a mosquito and many others tried to shout very loudly to be able to talk to others in the confinement, but did not succeed.
I believe that this should be shut down and the prisoners sent to normal jails and the will to live be brought back. I do not think that this should be a thing in the human life and it is all thanks to a lawyer, Laura Rovner. This woman allowed us to know what we didn’t before and we control the jails. We control the prisons so I think we should fight back and humans should have a purpose in life instead of rotting in mental torture.
