The thing is, prison has a lot of variances. A life sentence in prison has him in the darkest prison world. Martin Shkreli was in the easiest parts of prison for example. Ross is in the lifer prison with the hardest criminals. It's said he's struggling a lot because you have to join the racist white groups in lifer prison, and his morals don't allow that. But you have to, or you have no protection, and may get killed. The US prison system is a far scarier place than anyone thinks about. You essentially have to stay blind to what happens inside, or you couldn't with good conscious send anyone there.

  To inflict cruel and/or unusual punishment and as a deterrent to others. The judge only acknowledged the latter half of my first sentence and the former is the quiet part judges can’t say out loud lest the damned have a toehold for an appeal.

      He was referring to the first sentence of his comment, not a judicial sentencing..sentence.

        Indeed, I am not DPR and I have no skin in the game of his sentencing.

  Because if one person that can destroy the state monopoly on trade then that person is a severe threat to the state and needs to be fought with everything the state has at it's disposal. I'm honsetly surprised they stopped short of death penalty.
