Eric Rudolph Doesn't Like SuperMax

[Matt-NC]

FLORENCE, Colorado (AP) -- Olympic bomber Eric Rudolph laments in a series of letters to a newspaper that the maximum-security federal prison where he is spending the rest of his life is designed to drive him insane.

"It is a closed-off world designed to isolate inmates from social and environmental stimuli, with the ultimate purpose of causing mental illness and chronic physical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis," he wrote in one letter to The Gazette of Colorado Springs.

Rudolph wrote that he spends 23 hours a day in his 7-by-12-foot cell, his only exercise confined to an enclosed area he described as a "large empty swimming pool" divided into "dog-kennel style cages."

"Using solitary confinement, Supermax is designed to inflict as much misery and pain as is constitutionally permissible," he wrote in a letter.

One of Rudolph's victims had no sympathy for him.

"It gives me a great deal of pride to think he's never coming out of there," said Diane Derzis, who runs a Birmingham, Alabama, women's clinic Rudolph bombed in 1998. "He should never see daylight again."

Ohhh waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Somebody call the Waaaaaaambulance! :rolleyes:

Maybe he should have thought about that BEFORE he set off those bombs at the Olympics, and bombed all those womens' clinics. Typical convict... Poor me... Waaahhhhh...

Perhaps he'd like McVeigh's sentence?

Thats what he gets....of course thats how jail is...supposed to make you not to wanna ever spend time there behind the bars....hopefully he stays there until he goes crazy.

Lying bastard. Every thug I know would practically kill for his own cell. Thomas Silverstein loved "Silverstein Suite" in Leavenworth. No drama, no politics, no bootybandits. Just his, art, letters, telephone, books, and propaganda; which is what Rudolph is practicing in this instance.

Perhaps he would prefer to become a fed boarder in a state system? Maybe the Cofield, Beto, or Michael Units in East Texas? I think a hoe would fit his hand quite nicely. Then after hard early mornings to early afternoons in the field, he can spend his afternoons and evenings in a building full of thugs, bootybandits, and racists of a different color. Perhaps that will help him keep his mind right.

Oh dear, how can we be so inhumane to such a poor soul....

Again I would like to bring up the fact if they don't like jail then maybe they should think before breaking the law.

Growing up my parents told me:

"There will be consequences for your actions! With that in mind...you choose your path."
love mom and dad

He choose his path...Now deal with it..you coward!

I always wondered if that was true! Did you ever see it?

I agree with everyone wanting single cells. I only know of one inmate who says he wouldn't want a single cell. He chooses "unique" cellies because they "entertain" him.

forgive me.. but isn't this the point? he's lucky he didn't get the death penalty. i'm sure if he had a choice.. this would probably be his preferred method.

I love how tough inmates are on the street, but when they come to jail they're all a bunch of pussies. They can rape, rob and murder on the street but when they're in jail suddenly "Wahhh I want my meds! Wahhhh I didn't get my rec time! Wahhhhh he got a bigger piece of cake in his tray!"

Seeing articles leaves me with hope the system is still working. Prison sucks? No kidding! I'm pretty sure that was the original intent of it all.

Strange how no one has mentioned this, when he bombed that clinic, didn't his bomb kill on off-duty policeman moonlighting as a Security Officer, there?

I saw ol' Terrible Tommy quite frequently. He lived in his suite until September 2005 when he was moved to ADX Florence, CO. He was moved because Congress and the BOP saw fit to lower our security level from High to Medium.

Yeah, that's true. On my unit, I've got all disciplinary cases. They talk tough and all, but you put handcuffs on them just a tad too tight and they whine like little girls. I simply tell them, "You're a tough guy, you'll be alright!"

And knowing what we saw and how he lived, it's a shame he got moved and the total isolation is near an end for him. He can actually see other inmates now. They never should have moved him. Keep him in the hole of hell with no contact.

[hankrearden2000]

He had it made and still does.

Poor Baby,
do the crime ....do the time.
and if your gonna hide in the woods, dont dumpster dive.

Today's criminal has no idea that prison is supposed to be the least bit punitive. They just think they're there to get their rec, mail, meals, etc. and try to get over as much as possible.
The unit I work at is a high/max unit, one step away from SMU- total lockdown. It's "criminal college." They're almost all violent felons, yet they whine and bitch whenever their rec gets cancelled (usually because their brethren have decided to stab one another somewhere on the yard). Pathetic.
