Today, 66 year-old Albert will spend at least 23 hours of the day alone in a cell measuring 2 x 3 meters, as he has done most days since he was convicted 41 years ago. Louisiana has continuously broken its own laws to keep Albert (and others) in solitary confinement. His imprisonment amounts to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and yet, despite more than 150 reviews of his case and numerous prison reports showing that he poses no danger to others or himself, the Louisiana prison services continue to keep Albert in isolation. Albert is one of three men known as ‘the Angola 3’ – along with Herman Wallace (also continuing to be kept indefinitely in solitary) and Robert King, freed in 2001 after 29 years’ isolation. The three men have always maintained that their unjust incarceration is politically motivated, after they brought the politics of the Black Panther party to Angola.
