Tyheem Henrys långa omänskliga straff är inte alls unikt i Amerika utan mängder av liknande medeltida barbariska straff för nutidens olovligt webb-surfande fångar, har kommit till dagen ljus när "Electronic Frontier Foundation" nyligen rapporterade resultatet av en undersökning...
Över 400 fångar i South Carolina har t.ex. fått sitta i isoleringsceller efter att de olovligen använt sociala nätverk som Facebook och Twitter.
- Enligt rappoten från "Electronic Frontier Foundation" så jämställer USA:s fångvårdsmyndighet olovlig användning av Facebook med; Mord, Våldtäkt, Kidnappning och Våldsamt upplopp.
- Därav de aningen höga amerikanska straffen för internetsurf...
Exemplevis fick fången - Walter Brown 12,600 dagars isolering i juni 2014 (34.5 år) för att han använt Facebook 35 gånger.

Jonathan McClain dömdes till 9,000 dagars isolering i maj 2014 (24.6 år) för att han använt Facebook ett 20-tal gånger.

Almost 400 inmates in South Carolina have spent time in solitary confinement for using social media websites, a violation the state Department of Corrections defines as equal to murdering or raping a fellow inmate, according to an Electronic Frontier Foundation investigation.
The digital rights group discovered through a public information request that prison officials have filed more than 400 disciplinary actions against prisoners who were found to be using cellphones smuggled behind bars to access Facebook or who gave their personal account information to friends or family to update their accounts.
And since 2012, the South Carolina Department of Corrections has defined “creating and/or assisting with a social networking site” as a Level 1 offense, punishable by solitary confinement or the removal of privileges like phone access or visitation time.
Each time an inmate accesses Facebook is counted as a separate Level 1 violation, which leads to excessive punishments like inmates being put in isolation for years at a time, the report said.
“If a South Carolina inmate caused a riot, took three hostages, murdered them, stole their clothes, and then escaped, he could still wind up with fewer Level 1 offenses than an inmate who updated Facebook every day for two weeks,” the EFF said in its report.
By classifying social media violations as Level 1, the SCDC is sending so many inmates to solitary confinement that prisons in the state have often run out of space in their confinement facilities, according to the report.
The most severe punishments the EFF saw for using social media included:

The most severe punishments the EFF saw for using social media included:
- In October 2013, Tyheem Henry received 13,680 days (37.5 years) in disciplinary detention and lost 27,360 day (74 years) worth of telephone, visitation, and canteen privileges, and 69 days of good time—all for 38 posts on Facebook.
- In June 2014, Walter Brown received 12,600 days (34.5 years) in disciplinary detention and lost 25,200 days (69 years) in telephone, visitation, and canteen privileges, and 875 days (2.4 years) of good time—all for 35 posts on Facebook.
- In May 2014, Jonathan McClain received 9,000 days (24.6 years) in disciplinary detention and lost 18,000 days (49 years) in telephone, visitation, and canteen privileges, and 30 days of good time—all for 25 posts on Facebook.
Facebook has also assisted the SCDC in censoring its inmates and violating their privacy. The EFF found that in response to requests from state officials, Facebook has suspended inmates’ profiles for violating the terms of service which restrict users from sharing their account information with third parties.
But according to the report, Facebook is also complying with SCDC requests to suspend profiles of inmates who have not violated its terms of service and SCDC staff members have violated Facebook’s terms of service by logging into inmates’ accounts after learning their passwords.[...]

USA: Fånge dömdes till 37 år i isoleringscell för uppdatering på Facebook - jämställs med mord
'Journalism is printing what someone else does NOT want printed: - Everything else is public relations.'
(* från - Guantanamo in America)
SvaraRaderaAccording to the American Civil Liberties Union, 95 percent of those subjected to solitary confinement reported developing symptoms of psychological illness, such as panic or anxiety attacks and hallucinations.
In Texas alone, there are more than 100 prisoners who have spent more than 20 years in tiny cells for 22 hours a day, with virtually no direct contact with any other human beings.
