John,

Representative Cori Bush recently introduced the End Solitary Confinement Act in the House.

Bush’s goal with this bill is to end torture in the American carceral system and save lives by abolishing the cruel and morally questionable practice of solitary confinement. Experts at the United Nations have condemned solitary confinement as torture — which has no place in the United States.

Join us in signing the petition to end solitary confinement and calling on your representatives to pass Rep. Bush’s bill. [[link removed]]

But what exactly would this bill do? Glad you asked.

The End Solitary Confinement Act would:

*
End
solitary
confinement
in
federal
prisons,
jails,
and
other
detention
settings
--
with
an
exception
for
a
maximum
of
4
hours
for
emergency
de-escalation
(not
punishment).
*
Ensure
all
people
incarcerated
in
federal
facilities
have
access
(at
least
14
hours)
to
out-of-cell
time,
group
programming,
and
basic
needs
and
services
daily.
*
Expand
due
process
protections
for
incarcerated
people,
including
ensuring
access
to
representation.
*
Create
oversight
and
enforcement
mechanisms,
including
a
community
monitoring
body
that
could
investigate
complaints.
*
Incentivize
states
and
local
governments
to
end
solitary
confinement
in
state
and
local
facilities.

Incarcerated people should be rehabilitated so that when they get out of prison they can lead productive lives. Let’s work together to end the inhuman practice of solitary confinement. [[link removed]]
