Offers an indispensable tool to campaigns for abolition everywhere Juan E. Méndez, former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture
Powerful ... These excruciating accounts from prisoners across the country shocked even me as I read them from the madhouse of Sing Sing John J. Lennon, contributing editor at Esquire and author of The Tragedy of True Crime
The injustice and cruelty of the US carceral system find their barbaric apogee in the practice of solitary confinement. Once deemed a form of torture by the US Supreme Court, the hole is still wrongly used as a solution to prison overcrowding and violence. But locking someone in a cell the size of a parking space for months or years causes profound psychological harm. For Christopher Blackwell, it was a harrowing ordeal that changed his life forever. Ending Isolation weaves Chris's vivid account with other stories from solitary, alongside insights from legal and medical experts. Through these narratives and undeniable research, the book makes a powerful case for abolishing this cruel and unusual punishment.
Christopher Blackwell is an award-winning journalist currently incarcerated in Washington State. Deborah Zalesne is a law professor at CUNY School of Law. Kwaneta Harris is a journalist who survived eight years in solitary in Texas. Terry Kupers is a leading medical expert on the harms of solitary confinement.
