      No, the US is VERY good at preventing suicide at Supermax. How often do you hear about that? A lot of them probably really want to kill themselves, but they don't, because the idea is to prolong suffering as much as possible.

      There was just one high profile case of someone in jail who needed to be watched "killing himself", and by pure coincidence, he was one who had a lot of dirt on a lot of rich and powerful people, and him dying was the only surefire way to keep him silent...

      They have reduced the risk, the outcome is almost completely certain.

          We've taking your blanket and pillow, now strip naked and put on the tear-proof gown for your own safety. We'll wake you every hour to make sure you aren't dead.

            Another word for torture. If they want to know if I am alive give me a damn bluetooth smart watch.

              But what if you eat the smart watch and choke? Everything’s a weapon, even yourself. That’s why we’re ripping out your teeth so you don’t bite off your tongue and choke on that too.

            You won't be able to kill yourself, but we'll make you wish you could.

      They don't have to suicide him. Locking him in a cage and torturing him forever will still send the intended message to journalists.
