NYS & NYC must implement the HALT Solitary Law & Local Law 42. #HALTsolitary #jailsactioncoalition #rikers
Stop the torture.

Today, a judge threw out the Mayor’s illegal orders blocking Local Law 42’s ban on solitary confinement. Gratitude to the City Council, Public Advocate & fellow amici. The Mayor & DOC must now fully implement the law to stop torture, save lives, and improve safety for everyone. #rikers #HALTsolitary
