Woodfox and two others were convicted of murdering a corrections officer while already in prison. That seems a reasonable sentence for such a conviction.
In 2015, the conviction was overturned and Woodfox was released.
I believe you may have asked this same question previously.

Yes, you are correct, but that was before he was released. 43 years solitary reasonable? Think about it.
I did think about it. The man was already in prison. He and two others were convicted of murdering a corrections officer. Do you put a man convicted of murdering a corrections officer (aided and abetted by two other prisoners)in a general population after an incident like that? What are you supposed to do? You separate him from the GP to prevent THAT from happening again. He took a man's life! THAT man and his loved ones don't get a reprieve. Think about it.
Worth reading the Wikipedia entry on this man. His conviction was overturned but he remained in reclusion, possibly because he is black and an activist.
