Topic Reading-Vol.1159-6/14/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Solitary confinement: 29 years in a box
6 x 9 x 12 feet. These are the dimensions of the space this man spent nearly 23 hours a day for 29 years. In the cell, there was just a steel bed and a sink, which was also used as toilet, but no window. There was hardly any contact or talk with other inmates. No march to the dining room. Food was served on a tray under the door to the cell.
How a man or woman can maintain mental and physical health under such an extraordinary condition? Doesn’t such relentless punishment do more harm than good?
Read and think what the life was like for the man who spent 29 years in a solitary cell.
