President Biden spared Brandon Council’s life, and the former death row inmate is asking for more — a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Council, who was sentenced to death for the 2017 murder of two South Carolina bank workers, is seeking compassionate release from prison because of “extraordinary or compelling circumstances.”

The court filing comes days after Mr. Biden, in one of his final acts as president, granted the ultimate Christmas gift to Council and 36 other federal death row inmates by commuting their sentences to life in prison without parole.

In his latest court filing, Council said that as a prisoner in Terre Haute, he has been subjected to “severe, unnecessary, and unjustifiable psychological harm” that “can only be accurately construed and assimilated as an act of torture.”

Council has been housed in solitary confinement since January 2019.

“The petitioner’s subjection to torture is the subsequent result of the petitioner’s sentence to death, however, the additional punishment of solitary confinement which is the cause of the psychological harm is in no manner statutorily authorized, mandated, or required by the petitioner’s sentence to death,” the motion reads, according to News Nation.

“Within the jurisdiction of the United States it is both illegal and unconstitutional to inflict or subject any person to torture as a punitive consequence for a crime a party has been duly convicted of,” it claims.

Mr. Biden’s decision to vacate 37 of the 40 federal death sentences infuriated elected officials and the families of some of the victims.

This included relatives of Donna Major and Katie Skeen, the South Carolina bank employees Council was found guilty of murdering.

“At no point did the president consider the victims,” Heather Turner, Ms. Major’s daughter, said in a Facebook post. “

Joe Biden’s decision is a clear gross abuse of power,” she said. “He, and his supporters, have blood on their hands.”

Mr. Biden made three exceptions to his clearing out of the federal death row.

He refused to commute the sentences of Dylann Roof, convicted of the 2015 killings of nine Black members of a Charleston church; Dzhokar Tsarnaev, the Boston marathon bomber; and Robert Bowers, who shot and killed 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018.
