Description
Six by Ten: Stories from Solitary Confinement is a deeply moving and profoundly unsettling exploration of America's widespread use of solitary confinement. Eighty thousand Americans are held in solitary confinement, with little or no meaningful human contact, for extended periods. This powerful collection presents the first-person narratives of individuals subjected to solitary confinement, as well as those who have been affected by it - family members on the outside and corrections officers. The book sheds light on the mental, physical, and spiritual impacts of this practice, and how it has become a prominent feature of the US prison system. Through evocative first-hand accounts and analysis, Six by Ten provides a stark look at the consequences of solitary confinement, highlighting the need for reform and change.
