- zelphirkalt 7y agoThis is about treatment by government and in the process, not in prison from other inmates.
- Waterluvian 7y agoI don't know what Assange is experiencing. I haven't been paying attention. But I have heard from numerous criminal defense attorneys that pre-trial solitary can be _considerably_ worse than prisons with the "hardcore criminals". As a recent example, the infamous Michael Avenatti, a purely white collar criminal, was being held at MCC New York (a jail that's literally downtown. It's crazy. Look it up). This is where El Chapo was held and where Epstein killed himself. At one point his attorneys begged the judge for relief as he was sleeping without any blankets in about 30F temperature, always in solitary, not allowed to have materials or even legal documents. I imagine conditions in the UK _could_ be similar but I hope to God they aren't.
