Screening of "SOLITARY: Inside Red Onion State Prison" with the ACLU of Virginia

Wednesday, February 8th 2017, from 7-9pm, in Senate Room B of the General Assembly Building (910 Bank Street, Richmond VA), the ACLU of Virginia is holding a screening of the documentary "SOLITARY: Inside Red Onion State Prison," followed by a panel discussion moderated by Rabbi Charles Feinberg of Interfaith Action for Human Rights, and featuring: Kimberly Snodgrass, mother of man incarcerated at Red Onion; Marcus Bullock, a formerly incarcerated person; and filmmaker Kristi Jacobson. From the event description: 

"100,000 U.S. citizens spend 22-23 hours a day in solitary confinement. Hundreds are confined to their eight-by-ten foot cells in Virginia’s Red Onion State Prison. Deprived of nearly all human interaction, individuals held in solitary confinement often sustain permanent psychological damage. Learn more about the harms of solitary, to prisoners and society at large, and see why it’s time to reduce reliance on this inhumane practice."
