Not In Isolation: Voices of Youth
Not in Isolation: Voices of Youth elevates the voices of young people directly impacted by incarceration and solitary confinement, as co-creators, co-hosts and guests. Not in Isolation examines how our history and our legal systems combine to harm youth, with shocking disparities for youth of color and LGBTQI youth. We’ll look at how the punishment paradigm in these systems tears at the fabric of our families and communities. Join hosts Ronnie Villeda and Swey Pineda for in-depth dialogues featuring lives forever impacted by incarceration and solitary confinement, and ways we can all work to propel change.

This episode continues the conversation between hosts Ronnie Villeda and Josue Pineda about Kalief Browder’s case, the long-term solitary confinement that he endured at Rikers Island as a 16-year-old, and the all too common harm inflicted on Kalief by the youth justice system that eventually led him to take his own life. Tragically, the profound harm inflicted on Kalief by the youth justice system is all too common. They also look at alternatives, including bail reform. As Swey says, one case like Kalief’s is one too many.
