To the editor: Re: "Pressure needed to reduce solitary cell time," July 26. Thank you for a most interesting piece on solitary confinement. I had no idea it was used to such excess. Time out away from society is one thing, but being treated as a rabid dog is quite another.
I hope you followup on this issue and if ever there is a demonstration or public meeting to bring the issue to the public's attention, I will do my best to attend. The fact that there are 600 more adults (men) confined to solitary now since 2010 is disgusting, but typical of the right-wing politics of this federal government.
