Submitted by Rupert George on Mon, 03/10/2011 - 12:45
The 'war on drugs' has help fill the United States prisons to bursting. The conditions that many drug war prisoners are kept in are truely scandalous.
For more information about AFSC's campaign to stop torture in prison, visit: http://www.stopmax.org - On any given day, as many as 200,000 men and women are locked in solitary in U.S. prisons - alone for 23 hours a day. This video captures the visceral experience and long term impact of that isolation.
