Terrible Tommy: The life & Crimes of Thomas Silverstein

About this episode

In this episode of “Bloody Angola Podcast”, Jim explores what many consider the most dangerous inmate ever incarcerated in the United States prison system, Thomas “Terrible Tommy” Silverstein.  Labeled a brutal killer and Aryan Brotherhood leader, Silverstein spent the last 36 years of his life in solitary confinement—the longest such stint in federal Bureau of Prisons history—under “no human contact” conditions at facilities like USP Marion and ADX Florence in Colorado.
