End the torture of solitary confinement

Please join us in contacting your Illinois state legislators to pass HB5417 the Isolated Confinement Restriction Act. Subjecting prisoners to extreme isolation, more than 23 hours per day, is cruel and unusual punishment, in violation of the U.S. Constitution. If passed, this bill will require that prisoners in Illinois are allowed out of their cells for at least 4 hours per day. It will limit solitary to a maximum of 5 days in any 150 day period, and will ensure solitary is used only when absolutely necessary, and never on vulnerable populations. Please take action and contact your Illinois state legislators to end the torture of solitary confinement!
