Inside Eric Rudolph's 20-Year Prison NIGHTMARE – Why Death Penalty Would Have Been Mercy

On July 27, 1996, a pipe bomb exploded in Centennial Olympic Park during the Atlanta Summer Olympics, killing two people and injuring over 100 others. The man responsible would go on to bomb three more locations before disappearing into the Appalachian wilderness for five years, becoming the subject of the largest domestic manhunt in FBI history. His name is Eric Rudolph. The Olympic Park bomber. America's most wanted domestic terrorist of the 1990s. When authorities finally captured him in 2003, many expected he would face the death penalty for his crimes. Instead, Eric Rudolph received four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole. But what happened next is something most people never see. Rudolph was sent to ADX Florence, the most secure federal prison in the United States. Known as the Alcatraz of the Rockies, this supermax facility houses the most dangerous criminals in America, including Ted Kaczynski, the Boston Marathon bomber, and El Chapo. Inside ADX Florence, inmates spend 23 hours a day in solitary confinement inside 84 square foot concrete cells. No human contact. No sunlight. Conditions the United Nations considers torture after just 15 days. Eric Rudolph has been there for over 20 years. That's more than 7,300 days in isolation. In this video, we explore the full story of the Centennial Olympic Park bombing, the FBI manhunt that captivated the nation, the wrongful accusation of hero security guard Richard Jewell, and the disturbing reality of what life inside ADX Florence actually looks like. We examine whether life in supermax solitary confinement is truly more humane than the death penalty, or whether it represents the cruelest punishment in the American justice system. Is this justice? Or is this something darker?
