Stop Solitary CT is continuing our once a month event series on the 23rd of every month to honor those who are in solitary 23 hours out of the day.

With this month’s candlelight vigil, we seek to bring awareness to the fact that in many prisons across Connecticut, people in general population are in their cells at least 21 hours out of the day. One of the goals of the PROTECT Act is to increase time out of cell for all people incarcerated.

Join us at Highland Ave outside Cheshire Correctional Institution to protest the inhumane conditions, unite in solidarity, and host this candlelight vigil to end torture in our prisons. If you are interested in volunteering to support us with this vigil or plan to attend, please email rahishabivens@yahoo.com.
