About this Event
Event Title: Surviving Solitary: Living & Working in U.S. Restricted Housing Units
Speaker: Dr. Danielle Rudes (Sam Houston State University)
About the Event: On any given day, an estimated 60,000–80,000 people are housed in restricted housing units (RHUs) across the United States. Although often associated with the most serious misconduct, RHUs are frequently used for a wide range of disciplinary and administrative reasons, and up to 40% of incarcerated individuals will spend time in these settings. Characterized by heightened security, limited human interaction, and minimal access to programming, RHUs also shape the daily work of the staff assigned to supervise them - often with little specialized training.
Drawing on more than six years of research across seven U.S. prisons, Surviving Solitary offers a rare inside look at life and work in RHUs, centering the voices of residents and staff and highlighting documented mental health and safety impacts.
