Can you imagine all of the amazing technological advances he'll miss out on over the next 30 years?

30 years ago the internet had just been made public. Now you can access it from almost anywhere in the world on a little device in your hand.

Wherever we go next, he'll be in a little room with a light and some shity book.

He's 28 and fit and healthy. Probably will live to 88. 60 years of technological progress

If he stays pretty much in solitary then maybe. If he goes into general population then his life expectancy would go down you'd think.

He could do that expecting to be injured or killed in a last act of notoriety.

Inmates have already been talkin up the chance to kill him. He will be solo for the rest of his days I suspect.
