It's life, Jim, but not as we know it
Many defense attorneys for inmates convicted on terrorism charges say their clients are often subject to special administrative measures, or SAMs, ordered by the attorney general.
Bernard V. Kleinman, a New York lawyer is the only person allowed to visit his client.
He said his client often spends days at a time without leaving his cell, declining an hour of solitary exercise time because of body-cavity searches performed before and after each session.
"Anybody who thinks the death penalty was more punishment than this doesn't know what it's like to live completely alone for the rest of your life."
[Bernard V. Kleinman, lawyer, regarding Zacharias Moussaoui's Supermax destination.]
