Description
“Some of the people in Six by Ten were convicted of crimes, but this book convicts the
United States of an incomparably greater crime: blighting the lives and searing the souls of untold
hundreds of thousands of men, women, and teenagers by a practice that more enlightened
countries consider inhuman. You will not find a more riveting indictment anywhere of our reckless
use of solitary confinement, nor one told through such a variety of moving, poignant voices.― —
Adam Hochschild, author, King Leopoldâ€s Ghost “The voices heard in this powerful
collection are haunting. As these men and women make inescapably clear, the practice of
removing human beings from everything that makes them sane and stable—keeping them for
days, months, and years in utter isolation without light, touch, sound, space, and hope—is
unimaginably cruel. Six by Ten is a deeply moving and profoundly unsettling wake up call for all
citizens. The use of solitary confinement is deeply immoral and we must insist that it be banned in
all of our nationâ€s prisons. Immediately.― —Heather Ann Thompson, Pulitzer
Prize–winning author, Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy Â
'Six by Ten: Stories from Solitary, edited by Mateo Hoke and Taylor Pendergrass, compels change
by giving a voice to the voiceless. Solitary confinement is one of the dirty little secrets of
Americaâ€s criminal justice system; sure, people know itâ€s there, but few know how often
itâ€s used or how detrimental it can be. Hoke and Pendergrass, through their experiences in
journalism and law, respectively, know just how prevalent and virulent this blight is. In this book,
they share the voices of those theyâ€ve interviewed: people deeply affected by solitary
confinement, including inmates, family members, and corrections officers. The stories stop you in
your tracks, but the appendices help move progress forward with simplicity, depth, and hope,
beginning with ten things anyone can do that are impactful and accessible. The educational pieces
of the book give apt background on the history and usage of solitary confinement, allowing even
those examining the practice for the first time to have a firm grasp of the situation. Six by Ten
 moves Americans to action for humanity and fairness in the criminal justice system.'
—Foreword Reviews Praise for other Voice of Witness books: 'Surviving Justice is a
necessary truth telling that amplifies the voices of the countless wrongfully incarcerated sons,
lovers, husbands, fathers, mothers, and daughters who languish in Americaâ€s prisons.
These oral histories give insight into the nature of the injustice to which they have been subjected,
but also offer a way forward. I never could have written An American Marriage without the

brave and thoughtful testimonies in this book.' —Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriag
