In Surviving Solitary: Living and Working in Restricted Housing Units, criminologist Danielle Rudes examines the damaging conditions of solitary confinement that up to 40% of incarcerated people face – not just for dangerous behaviors, but for minor infractions as well. Rutgers University Law School professor Todd Clear says, “Rudes has provided an always eloquent, admirably fair, and sometimes shocking portrayal of what our incarceration policies have given us.” In Surviving Solitary, Rudes advocates for improvement over harm.
