End Solitary Confinement Act

Johnny Perez in Support of the End Solitary Confinement Act

The End Solitary Confinement Act, introduced in the U.S. House and Senate in 2023, is a groundbreaking bill that would end solitary confinement in federal prisons, immigration detention centers, and other federal and federally contracted facilities. With colleagues in the Federal Anti-Solitary Taskforce, Johnny Perez, Director of NRCAT's U.S. Prisons Program, participated in a Senate briefing on the bill in December 2023 (pictured above). You can help build support for the bill by writing to your Members of Congress to ask them to cosponsor the End Solitary Confinement Act.
