This is a really interesting and important case - the man has been in solitary for a quarter century. He alleges there’s no reason for it, and that he’s given no serious review.

I should say: his claims were dismissed out of hand. So this is not someone who has had some kind of fact-finding.

The main claim, by the way, is not the flat 8th Amendment cruel and unusual argument, but an argument about the prison's indifference to his deteriorating mental and physical condition.

Anand then turns to her argument about cruel and unusual - she argues that this kind of solitary confinement was unknown in the young Republic.
