Law's Infamy

Abstract

Keramet Reiter looks at the use of solitary confinement in American prisons and examines the work of activists in trying to end it. She examines the case of Ashker v. Governor of California, a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of 500 prisoners in California who had each been housed continuously in solitary confinement for ten years or more. She also examines whether the case repudiated the practice of solitary confinement, “consigning it to legal infamy.”
