During his Presidential Campaign President Biden said he would do away with segregation (isolation) in prisons. At CCCF we had a lady commit suicide during isolation because the COs were stacking disciplinary reports on her. There is a non-profit organization called A Little Piece of Light that is dedicated to doing away with segregation in prisons. Those who have been there report psychotic breakdowns even though they are very mentally healthy otherwise. We have a lady in here who has been in segregation for months upon months and we don’t know her present condition. Punishing people like that won’t work because they cannot help the way they are. Putting her in segregation for long periods of time won’t make her better, but it may make her worse.
