JARRATT, Virginia - From his treatment, Kendall Gibson would seem to be one of the state of Virginia's most dangerous prisoners.
For more than 10 years he has lived in segregation at the Greensville Correctional Center, spending at least 23 hours every day in a cell the size of a gas station bathroom.
