Reverend Matthew Hale is in Colorado, now, but for a fairly brief time he was in Terre Haute FCI in Indiana. I was hoping Hale and Dylann Roof would cross paths at Terre Haute, but no, didn't happen.

Latest court documents show Hale is not getting his mail and not being allowed to send letters out. See freematthale.net - the link at the top dated May 16

By the way, Hale friends and followers have a letter writing campaign going to various Trump Admin officials, hoping to get someone to pardon/free Hale.

Dylann Roof Diagnosed with Autism After His Arrest

Associated Press article, 5/17/17

Biggest news (to me) is that Roof was diagnosed with "autism" and this upset him. He rejected the label. 

We also learn Roof's mother, father and sister visited him during his time in the Charleston jail. They made small talk and jokes. Roof complained about his medical care. Sometimes he praised the food, sometimes he complained. One complaint was that he was served a high protein meal with meatballs as the main item for forty days straight.

Have not seen the videos myself.

No Surprise, a Death Sentence for Dylann Roof

I skipped over the Dylann Roof trial. The trial's most interesting point was that against all advice, Dylann represented himself because he did not want his lawyer to use mental health issues as a defense. I applaud Roof for this. Doubtful it would have made any difference to the jury. The judge let the witnesses conduct memorial services to the victims from the witness stand and let them berate Roof for being evil and say Roof deserved to die. He killed nine people, after all. Despite all the lies of the press, our justice system is not full of kindly klansmen who would make a hero out of a white supremacist or favor him in any way. White power types routinely get 30 years for offending negroes and annoying Jews.

Bizarrely, it was revealed that Roof's concern was that if he claimed to have mental problems, this would hurt his chances to get a high position in a future Aryan government.  Sad as this is, it is not so different from the fantasies of other prisoners with draconian sentences. They do not give up hope that they are getting out, and when they do, they are going to be honored and they will exact retribution on their enemies as needed.

So, here is Dylann Roof today, according to the BOP inmate locator:

DYLANN STORM ROOF
Register Number: 28509-171
Age:   23
Race: White
Sex:    Male
NOT IN BOP CUSTODY

Note: He is not in BOP custody because he is in the county jail in Charleston or some other non-federal detention center. It has been reported Roof will be going to Death Row in the Terre Haute FCI in Indiana.
