Publisher's Synopsis

  • Media attention for hardcover: Book got rave reviews in the New York Review of Books, Los Angeles Review of Books, San Francisco Chronicle, and elsewhere. The work that Solitary Watch did to collect the material in this book was profiled in the New Yorker "Talk of the Town" section
  • Ongoing bi-coastal campaign and media outreach: Jean Casella and Jim Ridgeway are still tirelessly fighting against the practice of solitary confinement through their group Solitary Watch, and have recently launched a new campaign, "Letters to Solitary" modeled on the pieces in this book. Sarah Shourd's play about solitary confinement, The Box, wrapped up a successful run in San Francisco and should be coming to New York this Fall (details TK). All three authors are skilled media strategists and interviewees
  • Academic adoptions: This is a book that everyone involved in criminal justice ought to read, and the hardcover edition saw strong adoptions so the paperback will find adoptions in courses on criminology, psychology, and human rights courses.
