Super excited for ChristopherBlackwell to give a presentation about our upcoming book on solitary confinement (with a guest appearance by Dr Terry Kupers) this Monday.

I can’t believe my Solitary book with ChristopherBlackwell is actually happening! In the book we argue (based on medical testimony and many stories by people who have spent time there) that prolonged solitary confinement is cruel and unusual punishment in every instance.

Voices of SURVIVORS of solitary confinement - Murray Unit, Gatesville, TX The overwhelming majority of people sent to solitary are there for *minor* infractions. The average stay is three months and it’s often much longer. #solitaryistorture youtube.com/watch?v=7e91fV…

This story about Frank De Palma is heartbreaking. Frank is such an inspiration (he and Mary are contributing to my book about solitary). Please buy his book! It’s amazing. drive.google.com/file/d/1cTqnjF…

Proud of my recent piece with Kwaneta Harris exposing the rampant sexual assault in solitary confinement at her prison. She is so incredibly brave. search.app/PkjF2SgQqmZ8TT…

🚫 Solitary confinement. Restraint chairs. Denial of mental health support. This is how Kentucky prisons treat addiction. Help us fight for compassion and proper care. Sign & share the petition for MAT in prisons: change.org/MATforInmatesKY #AddictionTreatment #PrisonReform
