Delphi Murders: Inside Westville — How Solitary Confinement Broke  Accused Richard Allen

Delphi Murders: Inside Westville — How Solitary Confinement Broke Accused Richard Allen

Before trial. Presumed innocent. No criminal history.
And yet Richard Allen spent over a year in maximum-security solitary confinement — a unit designed for the most dangerous convicted offenders.

According to the appeal, Allen entered prison coherent and physically stable. Months later, he was psychotic, severely underweight, eating feces, drinking toilet water, and making confessions while asking if he was already dead. The State of Indiana already knew what prolonged solitary does to mentally ill detainees. They’d been sued. They’d settled. They had a 30-day policy meant to prevent exactly this outcome.

Bob Motta breaks down what the State knew, what it allegedly ignored, and how confessions obtained during extreme psychological deterioration raise serious due-process concerns. The discussion also examines constant surveillance, loss of privacy with attorneys, control over basic necessities, and whether these conditions crossed the legal line into coercion.

If a confession is produced by isolation, dependency, and mental collapse — can it ever be considered voluntary?
