Earlier this month, we learned that Josh Duggar is currently in solitary confinement in prison.
Despite the perverse nature of his crimes, it is not for his protection. This is a punishment.
Josh allegedly smuggled drugs into the prison. Specifically, a phone. So that he can contact with the outside world.
It’s not Josh’s favorite kind of infraction – a minor one – but a major infraction. and the infamous creep could potentially cost months In solitude
As we reported last week, Josh Duggar is reportedly serving his time in the SHU — the “Special Housing Unit” of a Texas prison.
It’s just a formal, less threatening name for a controversial carceral practice: solitary confinement.
Prison officers catch Josh in possession of a secret, contraband cell phone. He Chief No. No.
Right now, we don’t really know how long Josh will be in this isolated confinement, cut off from all social contact.
In addition to social deprivation, most SHU situations involve very limited space. Also there is lack of free movement and basic amenities.
When news of Josh’s prison violation first broke, many wondered how many days he could spend in solitary confinement. It turns out that “day” is an understatement.
Reports from insiders — people with inside knowledge of federal prisons in Texas and its workings — suggest it could be weeks. or even longer.
A man whose relative is an inmate there believed that Josh was still in solitary confinement a week later.
“Most of the people there,” the source shared, “have been there for months.”
So… what determines how long it will take for Josh to be among the general public once again?
Obviously, he can remain in captivity like this till his disciplinary hearing.
Things could get really bad for Josh. While it’s impossible to feel sorry for HisSpecifically, it appears that his circumstances may be so bad that we wouldn’t wish them Any,
Under SHU confinement, visitors fall under either the “restricted” category or the “denied” column entirely.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, inmates under these circumstances receive “only one telephone call per month”.
And the source made it clear that things are even worse for her in Seagoville.
Reportedly, things are “so bad” that the regional office had to “look into what was going on” at FCI Seagoville.
“They are keeping the inmates in the SHU indefinitely,” the source said.
“Not letting them hear the DHO,” the insider continued, “lets them know when they’re on their way out.”
According to an insider SunJosh Duggar may be in the SHU months,
On the one hand, solitary confinement destroys mental health and deters anyone who could reform. We as a society should abhor any form of torture and outlaw it. We must remember that prisoners are also human beings. Even if they were all guilty, they would still be people.
Also… Josh is not a good posterboy for the people facing injustice. His heinous crimes have not the slightest sympathy for the little girls whose lives were destroyed for his enjoyment. There are countless examples of more sympathetic, innocent victims of cancer-related cruelty.
