Julian...Lennon??

Don't see him going to a supermax.

Well, you are entitled to whatever opinion you might possess based upon the facts you may or may not possess.

Not claiming to have any information at all. Just opining like you are. At this point no one knows what's going to happen or if he'll even end up in US custody. No one know what secrets he may have that he can use as a poison pill payback if he does get handed over. No one knows what actual evidence he has about other sources and methods and weaknesses and leakers and people in high places on whom he has dirt. May be nothing. May be something. May be more than anyone can imagine.

I don't know and not even guessing.

And a Supermax is humane - how?

[Guest]

You could make the argument that given prison life, none are “humane.”

[Bronshtein]

Depends what you think 'prison life' is and what incarceration is for.
No system is perfect, but removing all benign human contact is barbaric.
Ironically, given the topic of Assange, the Swedish/Danish/Dutch model is much better than the US prison system which continues the profligate waste of humans as a disposable resource that the entire social justice system pursues.

Who would have thunk Bronny doesn't think prison is humane...Maybe they could all go and live with him in cloud cuckoo land...

Yeah, the USA method of punishing instead of rehabilitating is unethical. However, we are talking about federal supermax prisons, where they send serial killers, terrorists (domestic and foreign), spies, and drug cartel leaders. People who probably cannot be rehabilitated due to their fundamental character flaws. People who probably should be euthanized. Letting them mingle would be unhealthy, as they are the sort to share tips on more successful crime techniques, or would shiv people who represent their enemies.

Some of our White Collar Fed. prisons have golf courses. Since Assage is white he would be in one of those.

Sean Hannity claims he's an hero...

Maybe Trump will join him, though he'll definitely cheat at golf.
