A bill before Gov. Gavin Newsom would make the nation’s most wide-ranging changes to solitary confinement.
Solitary confinement in California prisons isn’t what’s sometimes portrayed on television: A pitch-black cell with a hole in the floor. That, Reiter said, was indeed the practice in some Southern states in the 1970s and 1980s but isn’t the case here, where prison and jail officials have some leeway in defining the practice.
The varying definitions of solitary confinement in California make tracking the number of people difficult. Mendelson, of the Prison Law Office, described the county incarceration system in California as “the Wild West for solitary confinement.” “You’re dealing with people who have long criminal histories and prior experience in state prison,” Honea said.
