In jail he's been beaten to the point of black eyes and concussions, stripped naked and held in solitary. While we're all debating like armchair constitutional scholars, I'd say the $500,000 donor was motivated at least as much by this.

- wes-exp 13y agoSolitary confinement is believed by many critics to be a form of psychological torture which can cause long-lasting damage to the brain. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/07/solitary-confinement-2/ http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/07/solitary-confineme... The fact that this kid's harmless comments have triggered a rabbit hole whereby he is on the receiving end of physical and psychological abuse while under the "care" of the state is disgusting and appalling. I do imagine such concerns played into the donor's decision.
