Gun Assault at the Front Door; the Latest in Shanquella Robinson's Case; Black America and Solitary Confinement
Description
In this episode of REVOLT Black News Weekly, we delve into the issue of solitary confinement and its devastating impact on Black inmates. With interviews from attorneys and experts, we explore the alarming statistics that show Black men and women are placed in solitary confinement at almost six times the rate of white people. We also discuss the damaging effects of this practice, with more than a third of those held in solitary becoming psychotic or suicidal within just 15 days. Additionally, we cover the lack of charges in the death of Shanquella Robinson in Cabo, Mexico, and the shooting of 16-year-old Ralph Yarle by an 84-year-old man in Missouri. Join us as we shed light on these important issues and call for justice for those impacted by the unjust practices of the criminal justice system.
