Reminder that solitary confinement is literally torture, and a particularly pernicious and horrible form of it at that
It is never acceptable, in any context
i almost went right into solitary because dudes were hassling me in the drunk tank. zero charges. nothing wrong with me. just didn't like rape threats etc.
but they put me in minimum sec instead. i had the first male bonding experience of my life.
then everyone was amazed how fast they let the crazy white boy out. they'd never seen it. there was a guy I saw refusing withdrawal meds & refused release. madman
they were so nice to me i wish i could have gotten to know everyone in jail.
they only had dumb christian rehabcore books. if they gave those guys Kwame Nkrumah and Domenico Losurdo and Immanuel Wallerstein and Michael Hudson and other marxist/neo-marxist/MMT history books... guys communist prison would be insane. we'd make warriors
you could change the world by becoming a communist book warrior and getting arrested for public drunkenness i'm not kidding. just a few hours with those men. feel like pure shit just want to be in jail again
