Posts - Bill - HR 4682 End Solitary Confinement Act
house 07/23/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to end the use of solitary confinement in all federal facilities and those contracted by federal agencies because it causes severe physical and psychological harm, disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, and fails to improve safety. This legislation aims to replace isolation with meaningful human interaction and oversight to promote healing, reduce trauma, and ensure humane treatment for everyone in custody.

This bill treats criminals like children, not like people who must be kept safe from each other.

If you think solitary is torture, wait ’til you see what happens when dangerous inmates run wild.
