Inside a Maximum Security Prison's Isolation Unit

This documentary goes inside the isolation unit of a maximum security prison to examine the reality of solitary confinement. It gives voice to people held apart from the general population and to the staff who manage them, amid a renewed debate over the practice. The film offers a stark, close-up portrait of what long-term isolation does to the mind. It is a difficult but important watch for anyone interested in prisons, justice, and the ethics of punishment.
