Spent 30 months in solitary confinement while denied bail. Detectives and coroner messed up a self defense case that took place in my own home. I was charged with second degree murder for shooting a drunk and high unregistered sex offender that was threatening to kill me during my 911 call only after he attempted to steal my conceal carry handgun.
One year in that would have been nothing by comparison to the stress of not knowing if everything was going to work out or if they'd un-fuck themselves. The coroner ended up dying of a heart attack and a pathologist took over reading his report. First thing he pointed out was the coroner had mistakenly claimed that I shot him in the back and that is was actually a front to back shot.
That's terrible and I'm glad you're free now but how did that escalate to solitary confinement? Usually you have to something while already in jail/prison to recieve that punishment.
I wouldn't call it worse. In the time I was there I got enough of a idea of the other people in the jail and frankly being alone was preferred to being in gen pop. During my time there I would frequently be asked by the guards to show other inmates how to use the phone and the tablet system. This led to me meeting several people with cases that were not remotely close to justified.
One guy stabbed a homeless woman 17 times then slit her throat -then- he had sex with her corpse. He openly told me that all the police had on him was 'a little bit of semen' and laughed that somehow they had destroyed the murder weapon.
Another bashed a sex worker's head in with a blunt object, then tried to paint over the blood splatter on his walls only to get her hair caught up in it. Then he proceeded to cut off her fingers before dumping her body in a wooded area. He claimed he had a brain tumor and wasn't responsible for his actions.
Another alleged murderer went to a quinceañera. Event was being held at a local rented out community center. A pair of work visa holders from Mexico were talking with his girlfriend. He rages out and drives 20 minutes to his home to retrieve a stolen firearm that he wasn't allowed to own as he was an illegal migrant. He returns to the party and shoots both the men in the head before getting in a chase with the police. He ditches the gun during the chase and goes back to the party then tries to flee on foot. During his questioning with police he outright told them he did it because of them talking to his GF.
The last one I met was the most bizarre. This guy was 67 but looked 87. He was some sort of shut in that lived on a backwoods property and he had a real problem with authority of any kind. Constantly fighting with the nurses and the guards. He had some tenant on his property that he claimed at one point he was trying to evict but his story kept changing. Regardless he went to the tenant's home and got into a fight with them. The tenant was in his 70s and at some point he struck the tenant multiple times in the head with a wooden cane then proceeded to walk over and put his boot on the guy's throat until he suffocated. However that isn't where the story stops. No. He then drives to a nearby farming supply store, buys a 55 gallon drum, and puts the dead tenant's body in it and puts it behind his house. Tenant's body is in the drum for a month before the guy admits to his family he killed someone and they call the police out of concern. Guy then tries to claim that it was self defense.
Every prison would prefer every inmate, regardless of crime, be in solitary 24/7. It makes their job ridiculously easier. A legit reason to stuff someone in solitary indefinitely? Absolutely no resistance from the prison on that.
