In November 2017 , Standford University came
out with a report on how prisoners who endured long term solitary were
doing after release. It sites the devastating effects solitary
confinement has on anyone- whether they go into prison mentally ill or not. The realization that long term
solitary confinement actually causes
mentally illness and a diminished capacity for success AFTER release is also
growing in this country:
Long term solitary for anyone blasted by Supreme Court
Justice Kennedy :
Justice Kennedy states that prolonged solitary confinement is a violation of human dignity and is
unconstitutional, not only when applied to people who are particularly
vulnerable or sympathetic, but to everyone.( 2 pages) https://ffupstuff.files.wordpress.com/2018/06/8justice-kennedy-denounces-solitary-confinment.pdf

EXPERT REPORTS ON SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT
Expert Website : http://ccrjustice.org/expert-reports-ashker-v-brown
On March 13, 2015, CCR and co-counsel submitted 10 reports in Ashker v. Brown, our federal class
action lawsuit on behalf of prisoners held in the Security Housing Unit (SHU)
at California’s Pelican Bay State Prison who have spent a decade or more in
solitary confinement. The reports were authored by experts in the fields of
psychology, neuroscience, medicine, prison classification, prison security,
international law, and international corrections. Together, these reports
provide an unprecedented and holistic analysis of the impact of prolonged
solitary confinement, and document severe physical and psychological harm among
California SHU prisoners as a result of their isolation.- Collins Expert Report.pdf
- Coyle Expert Report.pdf
- Hawkley Expert Report.pdf
- Keltner Expert Report.pdf
- Lieberman Expert Report.pdf
- Mendez Expert Report.pdf
- Redacted_Austin Expert Report.pdf
- Redacted_Haney Expert Report.pdf
- Redacted_Kupers Expert Report.pdf
- Sparkman Expert Report.pdf
Finally, plaintiffs’ experts
demonstrate that social interaction and physical touch are basic and
fundamental human needs, the deprivation of which has serious and irreversible
impacts. These reports provide valuable new evidence for prisoners and
advocates fighting to end solitary confinement across the country. For more more
information on the case, see Ashker
v. Brown.
