This week we debut a new feature on Solitary Watch: a timeline that tracks the rapidly accumulating (and accelerating) reforms made to solitary confinement policies and practices across the country. “Milestones in Solitary Reform” – created and maintained by Amy Fettig of the ACLU National Prison Project, and Margo Schlanger of the University of Michigan Law School, with design assistance from Solitary Watch’s Laura Cepero. Also see Fettig and Schlanger’s article in the Fall 2015 American Prospect, “Eight Principles for Reforming Solitary Confinement.”
