First of all, at Colorado State Penitentiary, they call it “administrative segregation” rather than solitary confinement. This is because their goal is supposedly, just to cut them off from physical contact until they are determined to be safe around other people. The feelings projected by the men being interviewed in the documentary tie in with the feelings that Stanley “Tookie” Williams expressed in his book, Life in Prison. All of the inmates, including Stanley, acknowledged that solitary confinement, or the hole, causes people to go crazy. Stanley complained of the small cells and how it made many men go stir crazy. In the film, they showed exactly how small the cells are and the limited room for activity that the inmates have. The images in the documentary of the men getting strip searched further supported Stanley’s statements regarding the embarrassment of strip searches. It showed one of the men

This prison had cells that were 8 by 12 feet, and prisoners were kept in them for 23 hours of the day. When the prisoner was given their hour of exercise inside of another small area, they were not able to have any contact with other inmates or outside world. The officers would use a small slot in the door to give the inmates their food, and there was the very minimum light that came from a small window in the cell (Kupers, 2017). The reasoning that this prison was first started was to hopefully rehabilitate an inmate through the use of being isolated from everyone else. The use of isolation was supposed to give the prisoner time to think about the crime they committed. Shortly after the Philadelphia prison started, a second prison that used solitary confinement as a form of punishment opened. The Auburn Prison of New York gave the nation another view of solitary confinement. It was said to not be as harsh as Philadelphia but it was still considered a tough punishment. When a prisoner would be around another inmate or guard, they had to be
Dad: In the prison, we didn’t do anything in the prison. In prison we stayed in a ten-by-ten room that held about ten to fifteen people. Inside the room, there wasn’t any AC or light. Everybody was in the dark room basically naked due to the heat. The heat was so extreme that everybody was down to their underwear. Some people would faint due to the heat.
Most of us won’t really live for a minute behind the walls in order to be empathetic with the prisoners and that’s probably the reason we normally don’t feel a thing even if we read the inner life of the American prison (Gopnik, 2012).
