Solitary: Unbroken By Four Decades In Solitary Confinement

"Solitary made me angry. Albert Woodfox spent four decades in prison, many of those years in solitary confinement. He suffered racist abuse, deprivation, neglect and extreme isolation – and now he’s telling the world about it. While it works as a biography, Solitary is also a book about how racism has corrupted our legal system and how prisons are places where bigotry is sometimes allowed to flourish. This book should be read by everyone, and everyone should be angry about what Woodfox went through. Angry enough to make sure it never happens again."
