Imagine living in a small windowless room with no furniture. The lights are on 24-7. You have no

human contact. You have no phone, no television, no internet. No one comes to visit and you're not

allowed to leave it. Now imagine doing that for 13,140 days. That's the story of terrible Tommy Silverstein.

You just can't do that to people year after year, after year, day after day after day,

and having that kind of pressure. You're not expecting something to explode.

We always have an odd one in the crowd, so it's kind of odd. I'm excitedly odd. Doesn't that strike you as a little bit odd? No, it doesn't strike me as a little bit odd. It's the Bob and Sherry Oddcast, with stuff we wouldn't, couldn't, or shouldn't do on the regular show. Now, here's the odd cast. We are big, true crime fans, Max and I. And every once in a while, you stumble across a story

that you kind of knew a little bit about, but then you do some digging, and it just takes your

breath away. And this is the story of Thomas Silverstein. He's a brutal, remorseless, violent killer.

He was the most isolated prisoner in the U.S. correction system

in the history of our country.

He spent 36 years in solitary confinement.

That's 13,140 days.

36 years, the cell was soundproof.

They left the lights on 24 hours a day,

and they left him locked up.

And he lived in that solitary confinement

for those 36 years,

more than three decades,

no contact with other human beings.

According to Tommy Silverstein, it was worse than torture.

He said it would have been more humane to kill me immediately than to bury a man alive.

So let's take a look at Tommy Silverstein's story.
