As part of this research, he would like to interview former prisoners who served at least 3 consecutive months in segregation or isolation, while in federal or state prison. The goal of the interviews is to document people’s experiences in segregation, and experiences of transitioning out of segregation. He hopes to be able to describe the problems associated with long-term segregation, and to propose better alternatives. Interviews are one hour in length; no compensation is available for participation. All names or other identifying information would not be used without explicit permission of individual.
