Correct. It's perfectly normal to be kept in solitary confinement for years before being given a trial.



Unfortunately, it is. Kalief Browder was kept largely in solitary for more than two years for allegedly stealing a backpack.

If you want to help with the fight to get these sorts of egregious treatments (especially pre-trial) recognized as violations of the 6th and 8th amendments, join to the fight to win back the courts from conservatives.
