This lecture was part of the International Symposium on Solitary Confinement held November 5-6, 2020 and sponsored by The Office of the Provost of Thomas Jefferson University. Craig Haney, J.D., PhD is Distinguished Professor of Psychology and the UC Presidential Chair at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Haney received his Ph.D. and J.D. degrees from Stanford University, where he served as one of the principal researchers in the well-known “Stanford Prison Experiment.” For nearly four decades since then has conducted research on a variety of topics, including the psychological effects of living and working in prison environments. Much of that research has focused on the psychological effects of solitary or “supermax” type confinement. Professor Haney has served as an expert witness in several landmark cases addressing the constitutional rights of prisoners, including Toussaint v. McCarthy (1983), Madrid v. Gomez (1995), Coleman v. Gomez (1995), and Ruiz v. Johnson (1999), and Brown v. Plata (2011). In 2012, he was appointed to a National Academy of Sciences Committee studying the causes and consequences of mass incarceration in the United States and also testified at an historic hearing before the U.S. Senate examining the nature and effects of solitary confinement.
Special Thanks to Craig Haney for this presentation on solitary confinement.
