Solitary Confinement is vastly overused and abused around the world.
I spent 12 months and 25 days in solitary confinement in the NY State Prison system. I was in solitary multiple times in multiple different prisons. The massive psychological damage caused by the extreme isolation of solitary confinement was beyond anything I have ever experienced.
Upon my release from prison, I have worked with multiple organizations to help bring awareness to the horrors of solitary confinement.
