description: Solitary is the unforgettable life story of a man who served more than four decades in solitary confinementin a 6-foot by 9-foot cell 23 hours a day in notorious Angola prison in Louisianaall for a crime he did not commit. That Albert Woodfox survived was in itself a feat of extraordinary endurance against the violence and deprivation he faced daily. That he was able to emerge whole from his odyssey within Americas prison and judicial systems is a triumph of the human spirit and makes his book a clarion call to reform the inhumanity of solitary confinement in the U.S. and around the world.
