The HALT Solitary Confinement Act (S1623/A2500) has 33 Senate cosponsors and others committed to vote for it. Respectfully, I urge you to bring HALT to a vote now (as is, without watering down its protections), so we can finally end this torture. Do not let another mind or life be taken by this inhumane treatment. Thank you.”

2. Tell Assembly Speaker Heastie (518) 455-3791:



“Thousands of New Yorkers are still suffering in solitary confinement for months, years, and decades. Thank you for your leadership in supporting the HALT Solitary Confinement Act (A2500/S1623). We appreciate that the Assembly passed HALT last year and that you continue to support the bill. I respectfully urge you to again bring HALT to a vote now (as is, without  watering down its protections), so we can finally end this torture. Do not let another mind or life be taken by this inhumane practice. Thank you again.”
