Solitary confinement exacerbates the cycle of recidivism by deepening the trauma experienced by those subjected to this torture. A shift towards rehabilitative practices can break this cycle of punishment.

I got a DM from a mom whose son committed suicide. He was incarcerated with a life sentence. She asked me what she could have done. 1st, I told her, it's not her fault. Prison can eat you alive, so forgive your son, he was doing the best he could with the resources available. RIP

Society often thinks of incarceration as something people live through & from which they can ultimately be released. But the reality is that time spent in prisons & jails can create a host of collateral consequences that haunt people long after release.

Many people would simply like to forget about the millions of souls incarcerated, but that's not possible. Your action or inaction speaks loudly. We've harmed, we're imprisoned, most will be released. What you do to us while incarcerated may have negative effects on the world.
