SUMMARY:Juvenile In Justice: End Solitary Confinement
DESCRIPTION:We are currently in the midst of a national movement to en
 d the solitary confinement of children. In January, President Obama ba
 nned solitary confinement of juveniles in federal facilities and highl
 ighted the physical, emotional and social harms the practice inflicts 
 on children. Many jurisdictions have since followed suit, prohibiting 
 or greatly restricting the practice of solitary confinement for juveni
 les. However, solitary confinement is still routinely employed in a ma
 jority of states.InLiquid, Juvenile Law Center, and Richard Ross are c
 ollaborating on a multi-site exhibition of Ross’ photographs, which 
 document the incarceration of children in the U.S., detained youth aud
 io recordings, and life-size replicas of solitary confinement cells. T
 he first exhibit, at Eastern State Penitentiary, includes five select 
 images from his Juvenile In Justice series paired with a collection of
  audio recordings of Ross’ personal interviews with detained youth. 
 Youths’ firsthand descriptions of detention and solitary confinement
  complement the raw and eerily beautiful images, providing a moving, i
 mmersive experience of what it is like to grow up confined.A major exh
 ibit of Richard Ross’ photographs, a replica of a solitary cell, and
  complementary programming will open July 21 – September 4, 2016 at 
 the Free Library of Philadelphia’s Parkway Central Library.Thursday,
