CRIM 201 - Solitary Confinement and Human Rights

1 hour
Students will learn about history and practices of solitary confinement in US jails, prisons, and immigration detention facilities within the broader context of mass incarceration and state social control policy. There will be a significant focus on diverse cultural and religious perspectives on human rights, social justice, and penal practices. The course will engage students in a creative process to share their learning with the Dominican community through the creation of research-based handouts, the construction of a mock solitary cell matching the specifications used in most US detention facilities, and art and performance.

Listed also as SOC 201 , THEA 201 , THEO 201 .
