“It’s almost unbearable when you’re awake,” Olander Dedeaux, who has been in solitary since December, told his advocate. He shared similar issues & experiences of men who were in solitary 20 years earlier. Story with @dajaehenry & @burning_gr4nt:

Nearly 75% of the incarcerated people who died by suicide in Mississippi prisons were in restrictive housing, where well-being checks are supposed to happen more frequently than in the general population. The news team spent a year investigating. Story with @dajaehenry:

An investigation found at least 47 suicides occurred in solitary confinement in Mississippi, where cries for mental health care were met with isolation and punishment. ow.ly/lqKr50Z8BmZ

A young mother begged for help. Instead, she was sent to solitary confinement, where she died by suicide. Despite a legion of evidence of its harms, solitary confinement was the common factor in nearly 75% of suicides in Mississippi prisons since 2015. themarshallproject.org/2026/…

In 1962, JFK used the Insurrection Act — an emergency power typically used to uphold civil rights & stop violent uprisings — to end a White supremacist uprising at Ole Miss. Years later, Trump wanted to use it differently, unleashing troops on Minnesotans. themarshallproject.org/2026/…

At least 60 people arrested in Hinds County have been jailed in its detention facilities for over three months — including at least five for more than a year — with no indictment filed against them and no pathway to a trial in sight. @dajaehenry buff.ly/3VFrnwT

Dozens have been locked up in Hinds County for 3 months or more with no indictment, a critical step in getting to trial. Many of them are crammed into Raymond Detention Center, where a man was killed this year. One man has been locked up for 18 months. themarshallproject.org/2025/…
