What was said

"they put me in the only single man sale they had and it was flooded. And so literally it's like three inches of water in this cell."

Young describes being held in solitary confinement during the Covid-19 period, despite saying he had been reclassified to a lower security level. He alleges he was placed in a single cell that was flooded, and says he continued exercising in the standing water to maintain a routine.
