Continuing our coverage of solitary confinement – we turn now to New York where prison guard unions are opposing solitary confinement reforms. We spend this episode with Victoria Law, a freelance journalist and the author of Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women (2012) and “Prisons Make Us Safer”: And 20 Other Myths about Mass Incarceration (2021). She also co-authored the book Prison by Any Other Name: The Harmful Consequences of Popular Reforms (2020). Her article in The Nation is These Labor Unions Are Fighting to Keep Solitary Confinement.
