Not to dox you, but did you ever think to blog about this? 10 years without seeing the sun? That sounds like an incredible story to tell.

- qingcharles 3y agoAt some point when it is all over I will write about it. I've not been to trial yet - so this 10 years was while unconvicted waiting for trial, which is even more insane. It's not even the worst of it, IMO. When I finally got out I started working for criminal justice charities on various issues, and I started getting harassed by the police. They would literally come and drag me out of my house every single day of the week and arrest me and cuff me behind my back on the street (this is the USA too, not some Third World dictatorship!) and then let me go a few minutes later. Eventually they arrested me and I served another five months simply because I Tweeted about the harassment. There was nothing illegal about it, but a judge in the USA can do whatever he wants, so there you go. Here's what I wrote about the sunlight: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37740417 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37740417
