Over 90% of people in solitary confinement have a history of trauma.
And the system responds… by isolating them even further.

The Median Time in Restrictive Housing in Illinois Prisons is 1 Week. But Some Assigned More Than 600 Days
Many who’ve been through restrictive housing attest to extreme isolation and confinement in small, dark, windowless cells. Phone and tablet use can be restricted. Yard or outside time is limited.

The torture of solitary confinement is still harming thousands in Illinois prisons. Some people are held in solitary for over 600 days! There are extensive racial disparities in its use, and a lack of mental health care. This can no longer be ignored. #StopSolitary
