He was locked into a six-by-nine foot cell for 43 years, with almost no breaks. He was released from Louisiana's Angola prison in 2016.Judith Resnik, a professor of law at Yale, said,"In the 1980s, people promoted solitary confinement as a way to deal with violence in prisons.

I think they were all released and came to Denver per Jared Polis invitation.
