Christensen, the criminal in the Zhang Yingying case, was finally sentenced to life imprisonment, which makes people lament the laws of the United States. American jurors also rejected the possibility of death penalty for such a vicious crime in time. I believe many people simply can't accept the result. However, some netizens also suggested that the prison environment for felons in the United States is extremely terrible. Christensen will spend the rest of his life in prison, which may be the biggest punishment for him. So what is the prison environment for felons in the United States?

Take the most famous Pelican Bay prison with the highest security level in the United States as an example. It is the most desperate prison in the world and the nightmare of American felons.

Pelican Bay prison, located in California, is heavily guarded. In history, no prisoners have escaped alive, known as the 'tomb of the living dead'. There are about 2300 prisoners here, especially the felons who frighten the good people of the United States. In order to prevent prisoners from forming a party and making trouble, complete solitary confinement is implemented here. Everyone must be alone in a small room in the dark, more than 22 hours a day, and only one hour of outdoor ventilation or fitness time a day!

Each cell has only a small door and no windows. Each prisoner stays alone in a room only 2 square meters large. Usually, he can't see anyone except the prison guards who deliver meals. Many prisoners have been detained for more than 10 years and have long been in a trance. They don't know what year and month they are now.

Many prisoners' families attacked and protested against this inhuman isolation, which caused serious psychological harm to prisoners. According to incomplete statistics, as many as 80% of prisoners said that if they could choose, they would rather choose a happy death penalty than be tortured day and night.
