Grand prize winner! Congrats ChristopherBlackwell!! So well-deserved. Look for more by Chris (one day) in our book on solitary confinement.

This is crazy. Outright discrimination by the guardian.

"Police officers soured the birth of my first child—and my entrance into motherhood—by being rude to me and telling me to stop making noises as I groaned from labor pains." Read this absolutely infuriating account of giving birth while incarcerated. theappeal.org/lanae-tipton-m…

Sending love to Kwaneta, Lanae, and Marissa, three women in my writing group who are all living in solitary confinement (see first three pieces). So proud of them and their incredibly powerful Mother’s Day stories. They are such strong women. 💕 theappeal.org/kwaneta-harris…

“Mama’s gonna mama no Matter where they at.” Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms.

Another well-deserved honor for my good friend and collaborator Chris Blackwell. Prison Journalist of the Year!! Wow!!

My sister a 9/11 widow, has a letter to the editor in today’s NYT advocating *against* the death penalty and solitary confinement, despite her personal loss. The humane approach applies to all human beings. Otherwise where do we draw the line and who decides? #solitaryistorture

So proud of the incarcerated writers in the writing group I facilitate with ChristopherBlackwell (TheAbolitionChristian℠ Antoine Davis Jonathan Kirkpatrick Raymond M. Williams Jr.). #SolitaryIsTorture #SolitaryConfinementIsTorture

Super excited for ChristopherBlackwell to give a presentation about our upcoming book on solitary confinement (with a guest appearance by Dr Terry Kupers) this Monday.

I can’t believe my Solitary book with ChristopherBlackwell is actually happening! In the book we argue (based on medical testimony and many stories by people who have spent time there) that prolonged solitary confinement is cruel and unusual punishment in every instance.
