What They Say

“The quest described in this story is based on a desire to end the imposition of solitary confinement as a means of punishment. It is a story of one man’s efforts to bring the ground-breaking research of psychiatrists like Dr. Stuart Grassian to the attention of the courts. ”
— Raphael Rowe, author of Notorious and host of Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons


“The story is one that desperately needs confronting as Canada and the United States grapple with the collateral consequences of overusing solitary confinement at the deepest end of the criminal justice system.”
— Prof. Keramet Reiter, Dept. of Criminology, Law and Society and the School of Law at the University of California, Irvine
