Thanks for that. I had found it before I posted but once I started to read it seemed to be everything I already knew so impatiently I abandoned it. Since you had made the effort to find it for me I decided that I had to make the effort to read it all. I'm glad I did because I learned that he had been moved to ADX Florence in 2005. It sounds grim in there as well but their stepdown programme makes it seem as if there is the opportunity for an improvement in conditions.
Certainly his crimes were serious but the "no human contact" seemed severe and it left its mark on me.

There's some fairly good info here:

Several years ago I saw a programme about Tom Silverstein (aka America's most dangerous prisoner). It had such an impact on me (I slept badly for nights) because of the length of time he has been in solitary confinement.

I have visited Pete Earley's site and found out more information but it is difficult to find out if the conditions he is kept in have improved at all.

It just suddenly seemed like a good idea to ask here with so many people from the USA using this site. I think I'm hoping that his situation may have improved although I don't condone what he did.
