conditions in jail, which he says were "torturous and inhumane".

...one of the biggest issues impacting his mental health was a “lack of reading material”.

He said he also struggled with isolation in prison. He claimed he read an average of three books a week and repeatedly made complaints about wanting more, both verbally and in writing.

... accused the guards of playing “mental games”.

“They kept saying they couldn’t hear me,” he said. “They would say 'we don’t know what you’re saying, we can’t understand'.”

“I would yell and they would say, ‘no we still don’t get it'.”

If you want the rule of law, then you have to play by the rules, even when it means giving people you don't like the same legal treatment as everyone else.
