‘I’m angry & rageful & sad’: A Virginia inmate’s letters show why solitary confinement should concern us all.

“When we talk about solitary confinement, the common assumption is that prisons use it to control the worst of the worst, men and women who committed such horrific crimes that they will probably never walk out of those facilities. The letters from this inmate show that is not the case. They show that what happens behind those barbed-wired fences will be carried outside of them on the backs of those who are released.“
