New York Times:Life Shrinks for a Former Liberian Leader Now on Trial

Life indeed shrinks for former liberian leader Charles G. Taylor. While he faces charges of war crimes and crimes against hummanity, Charles G. Taylor's flashy life has been taken away. From nice white suites, estravagent homes, to nice cars. Its a big change to Mr. Taylor now cooks his own food, does his dishes, reads newspapers and receives prison issued pocket money. He is allowed to spend two hours in the yard and to work out in a gym. Herman von Hebel, the court administrator, said Mr. Taylor had two cells, “one where he sleeps and one where he keeps his paperwork.” He has access to a computer, a television and a DVD player. It might sound like alot but its two steps back from his flashy life, living like this is not only devastating to Mr. Taylor but also isolating. With the crimes and horrible acts he camited its safe to say he deserves it!
