Unpacking politics at home

Our country is going through an intense time period. Polarization is at an all-time high. So many of us are asking “where do we go from here?” and “how do I even begin to talk about these post-election matters?” This guide, prepared by Que Mykte' Newbill, hopes to help you to begin to answer these questions. It aims to be a simple starting point for engaging in these difficult conversations particularly with individuals who may share different political views and opinions. It is not a complete guide. Consider it more a small first step in helping to move beyond our current collective political hangover.

Solitary confinement can have devastating psychological and physical effects on incarcerated adults. But the potential damage to young people, who are at a particularly vulnerable, formative stage of life, is even greater.  Below is a brief summary of some of the research surrounding the psychological effects of solitary confinement on juveniles, an overview of the laws and policies governing the use of solitary confinement in the federal and state systems, and a list of articles and reports that explore these issues in greater detail.
