Solitary confinement is torture, known to cause devastating and deadly harm. People in solitary are locked in a cell, upwards of 24 hours a day, including for days, weeks, months, and years, without meaningful human contact or programming. They are often fed through a slot in the door, and provided “recreation” alone in a cage.
The current moment presents an opportunity for the federal government to truly lead the way by ending solitary confinement, other than in extreme circumstances and measured in hours not days, and create incentives for states and localities to do the same.
It's time to end torture and adopt evidence-based alternatives that are more humane and effective. Join us in taking action to eliminate solitary confinement once and for all.
