A majority of those years were spent in solitary confinement and were marked by a profound [decline in Powers’s mental health](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkwls8P0TvaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxNS8wMy8yOS9tYWdhemluZS9pbnNpZGUtYW1lcmljYXMtdG91Z2hlc3QtZmVkZXJhbC1wcmlzb24uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDIyMDcyNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD02NzYzNiZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD05OTU3OCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYtU81t9ivNbCd1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). A few years after entering prison, Powers witnessed the murder of an inmate by three other prisoners who were believed to be members of the Aryan Brotherhood. He later testified against them, resulting in threats from members of the gang. He began experiencing anxiety and nightmares, and, fearing for his life, he escaped. Powers was apprehended and transferred to the notorious supermax prison ADX Florence, where inmates spend 23 hours a day in solitary confinement in 7-by-12-foot cells. But the men he testified against were also housed at ADX, alongside other members of the Aryan Brotherhood, and Powers kept being threatened. His mental health continued to deteriorate. Despite the fact that Powers committed multiple acts of severe self-mutilation and attempted suicide, as well as received a diagnosis of PTSD, a prison psychologist determined that he did not need treatment. Powers eventually participated in a [high-profile lawsuit](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkwls8P4QCAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnRoZW1hcnNoYWxscHJvamVjdC5vcmcvMjAxNi8xMi8wNS9ob3ctYW1lcmljYS1zLW1vc3QtZmFtb3VzLWZlZGVyYWwtcHJpc29uLWZhY2VkLWEtZGlydHktc2VjcmV0P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjIwNzI2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTY3NjM2Jm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTk5NTc4JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpi1TzW32K81sJ3Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) regarding the neglect and abuse of inmates at ADX, which led to changes in how the prison treats inmates struggling with mental illness.
