Seven inmates at Kershaw correctional institution, South
Carolina have been given at least 1000 days each in solitary confinement
amounting to a total of twenty years. Their offence? The men who are serving
sentences for crimes ranging from manslaughter to robbery recorded a six minute
music video and uploaded it to WorldHipHop where it went viral. They have also
seen privileges taken away, including visitation hours.
Earlier this year, as many as 400 prisoners at Kershaw
Correctional Institution were handed the punishment for using Facebook - or for
asking a friend to update their profile for them, it found. And in October
2013, one prisoner, Tyheem Henry, was sentenced to more than 37 years in
disciplinary detention - as well as numerous lost privileges - for 38 posts on
the social network.
