“We have our own SHU here…” Evelyn Keller customarily warned new inmates at the FCI Terre Haute CMU. “And it’s not a place where you want to go.”
SHU (pronounced like “shoe”) stands for special housing unit, which is itself a euphemism for what is more commonly called, simply, “the hole.” Nearly all U.S. prisons have such punishment zones, which are (in)famous thanks to films like The Shawshank Redemption and Murder In the First.
But Keller knows about the FCI Terre Haute CMU special housing unit (SHU) almost as well as the inmates. She was the intelligence research officer (IRO) for that CMU until she transferred to Florence, Colorado, on April 5th, 2019. And as the former IRO, Keller was “responsible for all investigations conducted within the unit, as well as, all Unit Team matters in the absence of the Case Manager,” according to the FCC-Terre Haute, Indiana Communications Management Unit HANDBOOK [sic],” which is provided to incoming inmates upon arrival here.
According to official DOJ documents, Evelyn Keller was the second in command of the FCI Terre Haute CMU. (U.S. Department of Justice, 2019)
It’s telling, perhaps, that “the hole” within the FCI Terre Haute CMU isn’t the same place the institution torments other inmates from units elsewhere in the facility. And it didn’t seem lost on Keller that it’s different than other SHUs in the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP).
Indeed, political prisoners like Cox, Reynolds, and Johnson face barbaric degradation that is unique across the nationwide federal prison system and almost certainly qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment, not to mention as torture under U.S.-ratified international human-rights conventions the U.S. uses to criticize other nations for similar or lesser conduct.
“I’ve done a lot of SHU time at a lot of places, and nothing’s like ‘the burrito cooker’ here,” assures Cox, referring to the SHU in the FCI Terre Haute CMU. “I spent about a month there recently, after I told my lawyer about the murder [of Robert David Neal] and he started asking questions.”
Cox isn’t alone either. Multiple other survivors credibly and uniformly detail inhumane conditions during their extended stays in the FCI Terre Haute CMU’s “special housing unit,” including extreme heat, lack of ventilation, insect infestation, sleep deprivation due to constant loud noise, and contaminated drinking water that is known to cause convulsive vomiting and dangerously-dehydrating diarrhea.
Without a single exception, these survivors all describe being deprived of their legal work, writing implements, paper, and postage stamps, thus leaving them unable to reach the courts despite sometimes facing imminent filing deadlines. They feel this is ordered by the off-site staff who monitor nearly all correspondence between the inmates and the outside—including to and from the courts.
Movies like The Shawshank Redemption (pictured) have helped popularize what’s now common knowledge about “the hole” in prisons.
These survivors inside the FCI Terre Haute CMU are adamant their suffering was ordered by these outside monitors for political and litigation-related reasons. In some cases, line staff have conceded such to be the case. Other times, CMU inmates have strong circumstantial evidence supporting their claims, evidence that’s likely far sturdier than that used to secure many criminal convictions in federal courts.
In contrast to the off-site monitors, these same concerned line staff, who work inside the FCI Terre Haute CMU, are in many, if not most, instances, the first to warn new inmates about some of the deplorable conditions in the unit’s SHU. The concerns they’ve expressed appear genuine and compassionate to these reporters, who each received such warnings as new inmates at this CMU.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
