Description

Women in Solitary presents the powerful testimony of six women who were confined to solitary confinement in New York State prisons. Based on interviews conducted for Pawlowski's previous book Solitary: The History and Current Reality of Torture as a Means of Social Control, this ebook describes the strategies women use to cope with solitary confinement, including taking overdoses of prescribed psychotropic medications to manage its psychological effects. The women also detail their vulnerability to sexual assault by prison guards. Women in Solitary is a forceful telling of a previously untold story and illuminates women's experiences of solitary confinement in the rest of the country.
