Former inmate wins $22 million over 'forgotten' solitary confinement

(CNN) -- A New Mexico man held in solitary confinement in a county prison for nearly two years without ever being prosecuted has won a $22 million jury award for violation of his constitutional rights, officials said.

It is one of the largest federal civil rights settlements in history involving an inmate. Stephen Slevin alleged he was essentially forgotten while in custody.

Good for him. Now hopefully the people that forgot him will suffer an incurable disease.

Good for him, he wasnt supposed to be there.

Prisons have gone off the deep end with the solitary confinement thing anyway. I keep reading that its overused. Lotta these guys are gonna come out much crazier than they ever went in.
