Wow.Lock me up for 22 months. A $15 million dollar haircut would suit me fine.
I suggest finding a local immigrant from the old Soviet Russia and/or a Jew that experienced the concentration camps and ask them if 22 months is worth $15 million. The answers might surprise you.

"Solitary confinement" isn't solitary. It just means that there's one inmate per cell. You are surrounded by other inmates whom you can, and do, talk to at all hours of the day and night.
Inmates sing, play chess, hollar, debate, abuse each other, and the staff, etc., 24/7.

Wait,
I thought the US prided itself on being fair and humane with their treatment towards prisoners? This is absolutely inexcusable and the award states it as true.
And drunk driving to boot?

Terrible. I would like to know why no family or friends didn't do anything?
And I would also like to know how many people lost their jobs with such neglect that occurred to this man.

Before you feel all bad for Monsieur Convict know that they intentionally do things to themselves to exacerbate their conditions. He had a plan and stuck to it and benefited from it financially.
Inmates, especially in segregation, routinely self-harm by refusing medical and dental care and by neglecting their hygiene. Their goal is financial compensation, time outside of their cell and trips to the hospital, which is their way of taking a vacation from the consequences of their actions (jail/prison).
Only those of us who have worked inside the fence see the deception on a daily basis and, therefore, are able to speak of it.
I'm sure I'll be vilified for this post but I don't really give a rat's *ss. Until you've worn the uniform you, the public, are blind.
