"Captive" by Todd Tarselli
Control Unit: a cell devoted to keeping prisoners in long-term isolation 23+ hours per day, with no meaningful human contact, forced idleness, sensory deprivation, and frequent harassment; conditions which the UN has determined to be torture and an abuse of human rights. In the United States there are at least 25,000 people in long-term solitary confinement. In Arizona, there are more than 1,600.
