NOW: We’re in Senate Majority Leader Sen. Stewart-Cousins’ district with our friends NYCD16-Indivisible for a screening of “The Interview” and a discussion on the urgent need to pass the Elder Parole and Fair & Timely Parole bills. It’s long past time to pass parole justice.
In March ALC filed a landmark suit that could ban prolonged solitary confinement in PA state prisons & ban for anyone with a mental health diagnosis.
We need action at the national level too.
Please support federal bills to #EndTortureNow Unlock The Box Campaign

Solitary confinement is unjust and inhumane. I'm proud to support Unlock The Box Campaign in this fight on their National Day of Action. We cannot wait any longer to pass my End Solitary Confinement Act and end this torture for tens of thousands of Americans.
Thank you Congresswoman Cori Bush for your support on this important Day of Action to #EndTortureNow , and for the introduction of landmark legislation with the End Solitary Confinement Act!
Solitary confinement is torture.
I am proud to support Unlock The Box Campaign in their National Day of Action. It’s past time to abolish this inhumane practice and pass my #EndSolitary Confinement Act.
📑 Reports reveal that ICE has placed people in solitary confinement over 14,000 times in the last five years, often for months or over a year. The consequences have been devastating and deadly. #EndSolitary
📢 To stop torture and save lives, Congress must pass, and the President must sign, the End Solitary Confinement Act (S.3409/HR.4972). This Act will end all forms of solitary confinement beyond four hours. #EndSolitary #SolitaryIsTorture
🚨 Over 122,000 people are locked in solitary confinement daily in the U.S., including 11,000 in federal prisons. People are often placed in solitary as retaliation or to cover up staff abuse. #EndSolitary #SolitaryIsTorture
Ending the torture of solitary confinement IS possible; we're making it happen in NYC with #LocalLaw42 .

We were proud to join NYC in making history by banning the torture of solitary confinement.
We stood with impacted New Yorkers to make sure Local Law 42—which provides enforceable guidelines and prevents the new exploitative loopholes—is enacted as well. #HALTSolitary
Today we joined NYC Jails Action Coalition (JAC) & Jumaane Williams to urge NYC Department of Correction to implement Local Law 42 by its effective date of July 28. Solitary is torture. A supermajority of the City Council banned it by enacting Local Law 42. Now DOC must implement the law.
We had some great conversations with small business owners in Orange Co., NY about what justice means and why we seek a system that values transformation, healing, and safety over vengeance. Local businesses are with us.
