About this Event
Window Into Solitary is a documentary storytelling project by four photographers focusing on 17 formerly incarcerated people from across the U.S. who have spent extensive amounts of time in solitary confinement. In addition to powerful photographic images, the project includes written testimony by the participants about their experiences in solitary and their thoughts about its widespread use across the U.S. carceral system.
The project was conceived with the goal to educate and activate the public about the profound impact and harrowing consequences of the widespread use of solitary confinement in American prisons. The project is in conjunction with the publication of Ending Isolation: The Case Against Solitary Confinement, a new book by Christopher Blackwell, Prof. Deborah Zalesne, Kwaneta Harris, and Dr. Terry Kupers exposing the cruel and unusual punishment experienced by close to 125,000 of our fellow citizens each day inside prisons across America.
