Unlock the Box Campaign Tweets: Solitary By the Numbers

Title (Dublin Core)

Unlock the Box Campaign Tweets: Solitary By the Numbers

Description (Dublin Core)

Because correctional facilities are not built with social distancing in mind the facilities often rely on solitary confinement as a place to quarantine people. This was happening with other contagious disease before Covid but as this graphic shows the number of people being sent to solitary confinement for Covid quarantine is very high.

It should also be noted that a person sent to solitary confinement for quarantine due to illness is treated no different than a person sent there for disciplinary action. Imagine having Covid and being locked in there with no medical attention.
