A former conservative radio talk show host sentenced to four years in federal prison for laundering drug money is suing the U.S. government. He claims he was put into solitary without due process, learning incidentally that he was punished for unauthorized contact with the media. While in prison, the man wrote a letter to a publication asking to write a column after his release.
He also claimed the prison authorities were retaliating against him for his work on the prison newspaper. -db
