Past events
The April 22, 2018 Reel Work Labor Film Festival, Together to End Solitary film screening, discussion, and reception at UCSC was a great success!
People were deeply moved by the film, Cruel and Unusual – the Story of the Angola 3, and by speakers UC Presidential Chair Craig Haney and Marie Levin of California Families Against Solitary Confinement.
Dr. Haney said of the film Cruel and Unusual-the Story of the Angola 3: “I’m not sure I’ve seen a film that made me simultaneously as despairing, as angry, and as inspired as that film.”
"We knew in the 18th century that solitary confinement destroyed people’s souls and we stopped using it. Its use in the last 40 years of the era of mass incarceration will be looked on as a dark age."
-Dr. Craig Haney
Over 200 people attended. Numerous people signed up for our email list and signed postcards and petitions opposing solitary confinement and abusive prison conditions.
We are profoundly grateful to our
