“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate”
Unacceptable. 37 years dungeon.

The author of this blog post (http://charlestonthuglife.net/2014/03/tyheem-henry-update-3/) claims responsibility for finding Tyheem Henry’s Facebook page and notifying the SCDC. He also claims that Henry made threats against co-defendants on the page.
I’m not saying this justifies 30 years in solitary (I’d rather see prisoners charged with a specific crime, and if convicted, a reasonable consecutive term added to the existing sentence).
