As the inhumane practice of torture continues in some places around the world, some people face up to 23 hours a day of solitary confinement. Please see this special message  from the Executive Director of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture and click through to these links:

Dear Friends,

 

Now is the time to take action.

 

On the 23rd of every month, we honor those held in solitary confinement for up to 23 hours a day through an act of solidarity.

 

This month, we invite all members and supporters to sign NRCAT’s National Pledge: A Moral Call to End the Torture of Solitary Confinement. 

 

Every signature sends a powerful message to the Trump Administration, Congress, state legislators, and departments of corrections: it is time to end the use of prolonged solitary confinement. This destructive practice violates fundamental human rights and the inherent God-given and divine dignity of every person.

 

Join us in taking action to help end this escalating human rights crisis unfolding in our nation’s prisons, jails, and detention centers.

 

Add your name today and stand in solidarity with those living in isolation. 

 

Toward a torture-free future,

 

Rev. Ron Stief
Executive Director
