Cruel And Unusual

From the New York Daily News: If former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez wants to know the score of Sunday’s AFC Championship game, he’ll have to hope he overhears it from an officer or a fellow inmate.
“He’s not allowed to watch any TV,” Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson told The Associated Press on Friday. “As far as finding it out, if they hear an officer talking about it they might find out that way. He could probably hear about it if some other inmate were to call home and he were to yell out.”
Police are also investigating whether he might have been involved in a 2012 shooting that killed two people in Boston.
Hernandez is being held without bail at the Bristol County House of Correction in North Dartmouth, Mass., under “special management,” a classification that allows him only three hours outside his cell. He isn’t allowed out at the same time as another inmate and he isn’t allowed any TV, Hodgson said.

I'm sure there is some defense attorney who will cry and say that Hernandez is suffering from cruel ad unusual punishment.  Hell, I'm sure the ACLU will speak out about this cruel punishment.
