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.
