Jeremy Hammond, who is in prison for hacking servers of the private intelligence company Statfor and leaking its information to WikiLeaks, has been held in solitary confinement for more than six weeks and will stay there pending a prison investigation.
Hammond entered a segregated housing unit (SHU) in mid-July based on a disciplinary infraction incurred while serving time at the Federal Correction Institution in Manchester, Kentucky. He was scheduled to spend 45 days there, with his release date expected to be around August 20. In a letter dated August 18, Hammond told his support network that he was still in the SHU and had no insight into how long he will stay there, according to FreeJeremy.net.
Hammond, who has yet to be charged for the disciplinary issue, said he was informed by prison officials that he would stay in the SHU "pending SIS investigation," by an internal prison police unit known as Special Investigative Services. Hammond said he was not told what the unit is investigating, nor how long he will have to wait for its conclusion.
