- Regarded by many as a form of torture, abolishing solitary confinement has become a goal for many activists for prison reform and abolition. In Washington, DC, the End Solitary Confinement 2023 bill would seek to end the practice in District facilities by requiring incarcerated people have access to at least eight hours a day outside their cells. Herbert Robinson, co-facilitator of the Unlock the Box campaign in DC, joins Rattling the Bars to speak on his personal experiences with solitary confinement and the campaign to abolish it in DC.

This should not be going on in America, but it does! It goes on everywhere in America in jails in Prisons! It should not happen!
May the ancestors be pleased with Albert Woodfox & all the brothers who survived the torture of criminally imposed solitary confinement. These brothers are inspirational. Thank you Mansa Musa.
Most Iever did straight in solitary was 16 months. What a destructive form of life.
Ban the Box it would drive anyone crazy
In my eyes Solitary confinement is form of class warfare and exists far beyond the razorwire. Bless you for sharing your experiences 🙏 and sharing with us that are captured in a different degree of confinement.
Almost everything happening these days all over the world is class warfare
interesting. How woul d you control a crazed psychopath in prison then ? threaten to send them to their room ? stop their pocket money ?
@@gug1970 love and tenderness.
@@PonziZombieKiller yes. that'll definitely work.
My Son is in Mountain City State Prison in Tennessee and they have but padlocks that takes a different key to open each cell along with electronic locks my sons safety and rights are being stomped on he's not an animal for 1 if there were a fire there's no chance of living through it 2 if his cellie has a shank and decides to kill him he hasn't a chance not to mention the stress it puts him under

About time!
Hello Mansa, was just thinking hadn't seen you for a while. Good to see you!
I saw a report about The Effects of Solitary Confinement & a lot of inmates end up coming out with PTSD & that effects them when they get out of prison.
❤❤❤
amen to that!
I'd die in solitary. Just can't deal with it.
Most of my childhood was a solitary existance. I was not allowed eye contact with my parents. I'm junk because of it.
I did a week and it drove me nuts
I did 3 days. I can't imagine longer.
We TIs (targeted individuals) have been experiencing 24/7/365 in lives, and in generations (the latter, maybe) vs solitary confinement?
@@dextermorgan1 you two (2) were once "criminal" in jails? How's your lives afterwards? Claim social welfare benefits?
Another idea-- what about a Q&A with the audience in the side chat?
I was in solitary confinement for 5 years

My brother said he preferred solitary because he got away from people...??
How about some videos with ex-inmates just explaining their experiences in prison openly? Those on the outside don't really understand.
Is prison supposed to be an enjoyable cakewalk? That
Solitary confinement, ? show's picture of two dudes in a cell.
If you're in Solitary Confinement, it's because you've shown yourself to be a danger to yourself or others...Been there, done that.
