Cruel and unusual is certainly true. We were watching this in a class of mine, and while I know solitary was bad, I didn't know it was this bad. If you're going to go watch that video, it has a lot of graphic, bloody scenes. With that being said, I'm not sure the death is the right punishment. A few weeks ago in an episode of The Following, the main character, Ryan, told another, Mike, who was about to shoot his father's killer, "You shoot him, his pain stops, you let him live, and it never ends." I thought it was really well put. The scene is just after the last commercial line, at 37:00. nowaypablo - You might be interested in that documentary. But seriously, it is quite graphic. If you're not good with blood, stay the hell away from it.
