 audience participation to act, reveal and respond to the effects of prison

 multitude of ways to get Involved.\n\nUNLOCK THE BOX\n\nis a movie 
 documenting the struggle to put an end to long-term isolation in U.$. 
 prisons that has been waged by prisoners and activists for decades. 
 Starting from the premise that long- term isolation is a form of torture 
 that serves no purpose except the state’s oppressive aims at social 
 control, Unlock the Box documents the many forms of struggle that this 
 movement has taken over the 
 years.\n\nhttp://www.abolishcontrolunits.org/movie\n\nBay Area STOPMAX is a 
 collaborative group of prison activists and organizations working together 
 with the national STOPMAX campaign to build public opinion around the idea 
 that “solitary confinement” is a method of torture, with the goal of 
 ending its use from the county jails to the super maximum security prisons 
 within the U.S. to the military prisons around the world.\n\nFor more
