Last Days of Solitary

Last Days of Solitary is a harrowing account of the long-lasting effects of solitary confinement on some of the most dangerous inmates in prison, and why it is such a struggle for them to successfully re-assimilate into society. It offers one of the most extensive examinations of this controversial practice by showing the lives of various inmates and their experiences with solitary confinement.

The documentary calls for a reduction in the use of solitary confinement within the American justice system by questioning the very purpose of imprisonment. Is incarceration meant to allow criminals to suffer for their wrongdoing, or to rehabilitate them? Last Days of Solitary provides a first-person view of the system as it stands today.
