Solitary Confinement

On the 7th of June, I wrote about 'Torture by Sensory Deprivation' .  It's a technique that's long been used in prisons, and in recent decades, much more as a tool of torture. Naomi Klein writes about it extensively in her book, The Shock Doctrine.

The following piece includes the first testimony ever given to congress on the morality and efficacy of solitary confinement.
