Our fight to end mass incarceration and protect those who are impacted by it has taken huge leaps forward in the first few months of 2024. We’ve had major developments in one of our central lanes of work: eliminating solitary confinement.

I'm sure eventually, prison officials will snatch me up and I'll find myself in segregation, or fall down the stairs, when they realize too much truth is being exposed here. Until then, let's keep spreading the TRUTH about needed prison reform. Thank you for helping me till then.
Excessive use of solitary confinement has been recognized as torture by the UN and yet it’s a reality in Oregon’s prisons. Scientific research supports the fact that solitary confinement inflicts serious mental and physical pain on people. #SolitaryConfinementIsTorture [1/2]
