Cuomo signs bill banning long-term solitary confinement

[I_UndergroundPanther]

4. I spent 18 months

In a quiet room at a psych hospital. In the 80s there were no rules making limits on how long one could be kept in isolation.

I can say 100% that isolation is torture.

To this day I get overwhelmed by stimuli,didn't happen before the 18 months .

I spend a lot of time alone now.

It's really hard to manage symptoms of ptsd outside. I think after spending so much time isolated it changed me.

I cannot stand white walls so I cover the walls with art. It looks better and feels safer this way.
