Anthony gay

Anthony Gay spent more than 20 years in solitary confinement. He also became an advocate against the practice. He had just been granted compassionate medical release from federal custody, just days before his 51st birthday. He died of lung and liver cancer. During his trial, the prosecution established that Gay had an "extensive number of prior felony convictions," including robbery, aggravated battery and possession of a weapon in prison.

After spending 22 years in solitary confinement, Anthony Gay is trying to make sure no other prisoner in Illinois has to experience the same level of trauma that he went through. Once again behind bars he calls “depressive” for yet another crime he says he did not commit, activist Anthony Gay is now in a North Carolina federal prison awaiting a mental health evaluation. The case revolves around Anthony Gay, a convicted felon, who was found guilty of possessing firearms and ammunition, both of which he was prohibited from possessing due to his prior felony convictions.

Gay was a passenger in a car that was stopped by the police, and upon being pursued, he fled on foot. We would like to offer our sincere support to anyone coping with grief.
