"Human nature is full of riddles; ...one of those riddles is: how is it that people who have been crushed by the sheer weight of slavery and cast to the bottom of the pit can nevertheless find strength in themselves to rise up and free themselves first in spirit and then in body while those who soar unhampered over the peaks of freedom suddenly lose the taste of freedom, lose the will to defend it, and, hopelessly confused and lost, almost begin to crave slavery?"
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

'Cali Bondad and reporter Gabrielle Canon captured the voices of inmates from the Pelican Bay State Prison’s Security Housing Unit (S.H.U.), a supermax security prison located in Del Norte County, California. With rare access, we hear inmates' experiences in the facility. This short documentary, produced by Sister, and article published by Canon on Medium offer a visceral snapshot at how inmates live day by day in solitary confinement.'
