I'm not sure I would ever want to share a room with this woman.
What about the human rights of the other inmates? Or the officers that might get hurt?
It sounds like she started plotting something with others, the minute she had access.
Hopefully her claim will fail, I can't say I have much sympathy for her. ( my sympathy is for the families of those that lost loved ones)
If she doesn't want to be alone, the advice is don't stab people and plot to escape jail with a total disregard for others.
One aspect of the alleged plan was that "the finger of an officer would be cut off in an attempt to deceive the biometric security
>:(
The women doesn't deserve company, she's manipulative and dangerous.

Sounds somewhat similar to the case that Anders Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer, is bringing against the Norwegian government.

I can't say I have much sympathy for him either.
He has a room, food and drink some form of entertainment and he isn't as far as we know isn't tortured or beaten up. He is allowed visitors.
I'm afraid the rest of it is just tough.
If he hadn't killed so many people and didn't present a risk to others, he probably wouldn't need the handcuffs.
I wouldn't ask someone, dealing with him or the woman in my OP, to trust either of them.
I wouldn't trust them.

I am opposed to the death penalty
But
This woman and the Norwegian guy's
Make me wonder if I might make an exception in some cases.

I wouldn't like to share a room with her either Rose but I like a bit of solitude and privacy.
This is a difficult one; the fact that she is suing seems a bit ridiculous to me, I would have thought senior prison officers and the prison governor could assess her and make decisions about her circumstances in prison. They should have discretion in cases like this.
Prison staff always say that considering some of the needs of long term inmates makes for a smoother running prison. They are the ones who have to manage them after all and if the men or women are reasonably content, they will be less trouble. They've been judged, sentenced etc, and there's no point in piling on more punishment. That isn't the role of prison officers anyway.
The woman killed three men and is paying the price, as far as anyone can, for her crime. She is no longer under the influence of her man friend. Some supervised social interaction might be beneficial but that doesn't mean she would be sharing a cell, just taking part in activities and working.
It's a fact that long term solitary can drive someone completely mad and there's no point in that.

Just putting her in prison was a violation of her human rights, but we consider it acceptable because dangerous people need to be kept from harming the rest of us. If she doesn't like her situation, maybe she should have thought about it before killing three people.

That woman and Breivik should never see the light of day again, let alone have the company of others, imo. >:(
