Payton Gendron pleaded guilty to killing 10 people and wounding three others in a hate-fueled mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York in 2022 tp which he received a life prison term without parole on state charges. but he also faces separate federal charges that could carry a death sentence if the U.S. Justice Department chooses to seek it.
About the death sentence, "In July 2022, a federal grand jury indicted Gendron on 27 counts involving weapons and hate crimes, including 10 counts involving hate crimes that resulted in fatalities. Gendron filed a not-guilty plea to those charges. Officials from the Department of Justice also said Payton faced a maximum penalty of life imprisonment or the death penalty. However, it must be noted that New York State doesn’t employ capital punishment. So, Erie County Court Judge Susan Eagan imposed the mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole."
It's too bad for all of us folks who want Gendron to suffer just like his victims:
Here's the thing, life in prison does not necessarily mean solitary confinement (It is also called isolation, administrative segregation, permanent lockdown, protective custody, maximum security, supermax, secure housing units, and special housing. ), which, according to Wikipedia, "Solitary confinement is a form of imprisonment in which the inmate lives in a single cell with little or no meaningful contact with other people. Solitary confinement is usually imposed as a disciplinary measure or for security reasons, and it can have severe psychological effects on prisoners. However, some prisoners may prefer solitary confinement over general population for their own safety or personal reasons.
The decision to place Gendron in solitary confinement or not will depend on various factors, such as his behavior, his mental health, his risk of harm from other inmates, and the policies of the prison where he will be housed. It is possible that he will spend some time in solitary confinement during his incarceration, but it is not guaranteed that he will stay there for his entire life sentence but he needs to do so after all the horrific things he's done!
Solitary confinement is a form of imprisonment in which the inmate lives in a single cell with little or no meaningful contact with other people. A prison may enforce stricter measures to control contraband on a solitary prisoner and use additional security equipment in comparison to the general population. Solitary confinement is a punitive tool within the prison system to discipline or separate disruptive prison inmates who are security risks to other inmates, the prison staff, or the prison itself.[However, solitary confinement is also used to protect inmates whose safety is threatened by other inmates by separating them from the general population.

Before you say, "Who cares what happens to murders, I am not writing to oppose any trauma Gendron may have to endure. I'm just noting that he will somewhat get a taste of what he dished out when black prisoners behave hateful towards him for killing people based on their race. How-be-it, the races in prison tend to stick together and protect one another for racial attack! What I mean is, "Gendron will be protected (to a certain extent) by other 'white supremacists,' and, he may even get a congratulatory welcome from them! In the end, Gendron would probably live if he volunteers Solitary confinement.
