43 Years: Meet the Man Held in Solitary Confinement Longer than any Prisoner in U.S. History

[@SensoriaMaRia]

Mr. Woodfox, you are an example of resilience rarely observed in our human family. You were a resilient child. A resilient young warrior. That you had to further develop your resilience through 43 years of one of the most spirit breaking conditions is a TRAVESTY. But NOT a tragedy as you live, you know love, you share your wise voice for any seeking to break their chains. THEY did not break you. I love YOU!

These tears can’t stop coming for you Mr. Woodfox. I am Sooooooooooo Sorryyyy for what happened to you. Please try to still enjoy your life and don’t let this Win over You. Always Win Over this Albert you hear me Love. Like the Winner that you are. Pisces are Very intuitive spiritual people and that helped you tenfold your sign. I Love You Sir. Salute Forever to You.❤️🤗

[@CoolInOlympia]

Wow! What an AMAZING man!

[@allthewaynatural6695]

Wow, blacks did not have a chance. And, today to some extent still don't. The way this man was able to keep his sanity and live long enough to tell his story is beyond extraordinary. He has been in solitary confinement my whole life. I pray Mr. Albert Woodfox lives a long life to continue to appreciate God's blessings. I pray he develops precious moments and has precious dreams even in his last days. This is an inhumane act to bestow upon anyone. God bless you sir. Much love to you.

Solitary confinement is the most cruel and unusual punishment we could have ever convinced however due to the conditions in most prisons it might be the best idea better than stabbing or gang rape in a dorm

As soon as he came out he looked and acted like he wasn’t affected at all!! This guy could literally survive anything!!!! If there’s anyone mentally stronger than him, I would be surprised

[@draysanatomy]

That man's spirit is stronger than anything I have ever seen!

[@wayword1679]

What strength and courage and resilience just to live everyday under horrendous conditions. Mr. Woodfox's story needs to be told on the big screen. I pray that Oprah or Denzel would get a hold of this and make it happen. I think Jaime Fox would be a good pick to play Mr. Woodfox. jmo You are truly and inspiration Mr. Woodfox. I pray that your later days will be greater than the former that you would have peace in your heart and mind always. You lost so much but through it all you gained so much wisdom to share with this generation. Thanks for sharing Shalom!
