GROWING UP LOCKED DOWN: YOUTH IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN JAILS AND PRISONS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES

Option 3:

 Every day, in jails and prisons across the United States, young people under the age of 18 are held in solitary confinement. They spend 22 or more hours each day alone, usually in a small cell behind a solid steel door, completely isolated both physically and socially, often for days, weeks, or even months on end. Sometimes there is a window allowing natural light to enter or a view of the world outside cell walls. Sometimes it is possible to communicate by yelling to other inmates…. Occasionally, they get a book or bible, and if they are lucky, study materials. But inside this cramped space, it’s hard to tell one hour, one day, week, or one month, from the next.

1.      What is the main point of this passage?

2.      How is this topic similar or different to Persepolis? 

3.      Do you believe this is a human rights issue? Explain.     
      Marjane is not in a prison, yet she is not free.  How is her experience similar or different to being held in solitary confinement?
