Pictures posted on Twitter of a similar cell to Chauvin's.

I hope this sinks in for all the cops in America to reform their methods and attitudes.
He will spend 23 hours a day in this cell, alone.

1. He earned it!!

[Rustyeye77]

2. That really sucks.

I wonder if has TV or radio.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. You think he deserves better? He does NOT.

He is guilty of murder. This is part of his punishment.

[Treefrog]

6. I think even murderers should have access to reading materials in their cells.

And writing materials. Even if no tv. To leave someone without anything to do mentally is cruel and unusual and has been shown to be so. Surprised to read this here.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I was answering the post above mine, where the lack of TV or radio was mentioned.

Reading materials are entirely in a different category.

[Treefrog]

8. I completely agree.

I think I’d probably consider just stick my head in the toilet if I were to be left without reading or writing materials. That would be hell to me. TV is not necessary to anyone, imo.

9. I hope he gets all 75 years. ALL 75 YEARS !

But....Hell, even SUPERMAX in Co. has a black and white tv in each cell.

Lack of any stimulation really is cruel.

Hes cruel....we shouldnt be.

4. He can rent a kindle with ebooks for an outrageous amount

And get some Ramen from the commissary.

They have these horrible polices and fees because people like him love seeing POC treated badly, so too bad.

5. Really? And food delivered maybe?

He's lucky to have a cell to himself with what looks like a shower.
I was in lockdown once for only two days, with three different roomies and no shower.
You use to the toilet in front of the other guy. the food sucks, no books, no smokes, no TV, radio, no
nothing. Even the window was so small, maybe 4x12 inches, and it looked out on a block wall.
Worst two days and nights ever. However, weed is now legal in Az.

11. You know what sucks? Dying from asphyxiation.

That's what sucks. That cell is a temporary holding cell. He will be in there, under guard, until his sentencing. Then, he will be assigned to one of Minnesota's state prisons. The one he is in right now is the only maximum security state prison in Minnesota. He may end up there, or he may end up in a medium security facility.

However, he is going to be isolated from the rest of the prison population for his own safety. His life is going to be unpleasant, to be sure, but he is alive. George Floyd is not.

Think about it.

[Rustyeye77]

12. He should be in jail for 75 years. And in solitary. No problem.

He’s an animal. We’re not.

Having no stimulation is cruel. He will not be able to realize how what he did was wrong.

[MineralMan]

15. Not my concern. Remove him from society.

That is all want. The rest is irrelevant for me.

[MineralMan]

17. You are contradicting yourself.

"He is an animal." His treatment is cruel?

Think about what you are writing, please.

[Rustyeye77]

18. No contraindication.

He is an animal...he murdered a human being...in cold blood, afaic.

He deserves to be removed from society for a long time...how long is not up to me.

i do not believe solitary is cruel .

I believe in physical or mental punishment is cruel.

lack of any mental/cerebral stimulation is cruel in my opinion.

He is an animal.... we should not be one.

[MineralMan]

10. An en-suite shower? Luxurious.

Seriously, that's what prison is like. It's not a motel room.

[joetheman]

13. Judging from some comments here, I guess many have never seen the inside of prison cell of

detention center for inner city arrests?

[msfiddlestix]

14. seems rather posh to my eye, given that it's a prison cell.

he should be grateful he's there and not having to club it with other felons at San Quentin, or Pelican Bay..

[StarfishSaver]

16. Roomier and more comfortable than the back of the squad car he tried to shove George Floyd into

only to choke him to death when he had the uppitiness to resist going in there.

[Rustyeye77]

19. I agree.

If they lost the key, I wouldn’t care.
