SOLITARY: WHO AND WHY?
Imagine yourself in a small cell, 23 hours a day, locked up, for weeks, months, even years ... entirely alone.
Now imagine that for more than 1,600 New Jersey inmates - that's life.
On this week's edition of Due Process, Solitary Confinement - a cruel and unusual punishment, or an essential Corrections tool?
Sandra King introduces us to a man who spent 22 years in isolation, and hosts a spirited debate in the studio.
This week's studio guests: Prof. Alexander Reinert of Cardozo Law School, Bonnie Kerness of the American Friends Service Committee's Prison Watch Project, and former New Jersey Corrections Commissioner Jack Terhune.
Due Process, the winner of 18 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys, is made possible by major grants from The Fund for New Jersey and the New Jersey State Bar Foundation, with funding from the IOLTA Fund of the State Bar.
