Hell Is a Very Small Place: Voices from Solitary Confinement
​Coedited by Sarah Shourd

“For readers who have no sense of the nature of the punishment that is exacted in their name, this collection offers an unforgettable look at the peculiar horrors and humiliations involved in solitary confinement. . . . It is difficult to read this book without feeling shame.”
—Martin Garbus in the New York Review of Books

"These stories pack a visceral punch and make a convincing case for more humane conditions, better oversight, and continuing prison reform."
--Publisher’s Weekly
