About this Event
Right now, hundreds of thousands of people, including children, are being tortured in U.S. prisons, jails, and detention centers through solitary confinement. As its use – deemed torture by the United Nations – skyrockets, we’re growing our movement of changemakers to end solitary in all carceral facilities nationwide.
This fall, we’re bringing the fight to you with the –blending artivism, public education, and immersive experiences to fuel this crucial movement.
Step inside our skoolie (a repurposed school bus) designed as an interactive advocacy hub featuring a mobile library, immersive exhibits, and a life-sized solitary cell.
At Undercover Books, join us for a live demo to illustrate what life is like in solitary confinement, including immersive VR and digital installations, model solitary cell and photo exhibit, and live storytelling by Mud Theatre Project.
