I have felt powerless because I am restricted from voting – the result being I have no say in policies that affect my everyday life. Part of my rehabilitation involves understanding the effect that my crimes had on our community. As I began to understand what I’ve done, I became acutely aware of what my harmful behavior produced – a loss of connection to the place where I grew up, went to school, and made friends. That made me conscious of society’s sole intent for incarcerating me – punishment. I accepted it, embraced it, and learned from my mistakes. Over time, however, I began to realize that I have a stake in my community as a citizen of the state of California, even if I have been separated from society.

  • Supermax Isolation

    Supermax Isolation

    one Supermax Isolation Solitary confinement has been part of American correctional practice since the birth of the nation. Th e idea of isolating prisoners for their own good was supported in the fi nal years of the eighteenth century by such prominent fi gures as Benjamin Franklin and his friend Benjamin Rush, the pioneering psychiatrist. During that era, many Quakers viewed crime as a moral lapse and jail as a place where prisoners would be left by themselves in a cell and would be expected to search their souls about their errant ways and be “penitent” (thus the origin of the word penitentiary). But over the years, prison funding could not keep pace with a growing prison population, so this kind of solitary confi nement for the general population of prisoners was abandoned as too expensive to construct for or to maintain. Where solitary was retained, its original rehabilitative rationale was stripped away; it was now openly used merely as a dreaded punishment and deterrent within the prison and as a convenient means of separating out, for months, years, even decades, individuals whose inclusion in the general prison population might pose problems for prison management. the long history of solitary confinement in the united states Th e fi rst correctional facility in the nation to consign prisoners to single cells was the Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia. It was originally built in 1773 to handle the overfl ow of prisoners from the nearby, massively overcrowded High Street Jail. Th ere were simply too many debtors, paupers, prostitutes, thieves, and ex- slaves going to jail for the jailers to fi nd the space to house them.
