Not in Isolation
The Stop Solitary for Kids campaign, and our youth producers, are excited to announce the debut of our new podcast that elevates the voices of people directly impacted by incarceration and solitary confinement as youth.
Not in Isolation: Voices of Youth examines how our history and our legal systems combine to harm youth - with shocking disparities that harm youth of color and LGBTQI youth in vast numbers. We look at how the punishment paradigm in these systems tears at the fabric of our families and communities through the lens of directly impacted youth.

Join host Ronnie Villeda for in-depth dialogue featuring lives forever changed by incarceration and solitary confinement, and ways we can all work to propel change. Watch this space for subscription details.
