End Solitary NC’s Replica Cell
Solitary confinement, or isolation has been a widely practiced approach in the U.S. criminal legal system, affecting approximately 4.5% of the prison population nationwide in 2016. Studies consistently indicate that prolonged isolation can lead to severe mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and an increased risk of self-harm.
By humanizing the experience through personal stories and testimonials, the End Solitary NC initiative aims to mobilize public opinion, spark conversations, and ultimately advocate for reform or abolition of solitary confinement practices within the criminal justice system.
