This is a win thanks to the brave folks we represented in our 2020 lawsuit with @PA_ILP against ACJ. It also wouldn't have been possible without the persistent work of our community organizer @tanishaevonne, our allies & the activists who fought to hold ACJ accountable.

Congratulations to @PA_ILP on its successful appeal on behalf of a Roy Lee Williams, who spent 26 years in solitary confinement. The appeals court held that Williams is entitled to file suit against prison officials for alleged cruel & unusual punishment. https://t.co/vxkUJLYq39

[Pa Institutional Law Project @PA_ILP]

“I personally find it inspiring,” Feldman said of Williams and others who drafted the initial suits on their own. "They had the ingenuity to file these cases and craft compelling legal arguments. And I guess they had faith that they could vindicate their rights in court.”

Mr. Roy Lee Williams is represented by our Supervising Attorney, Matthew Feldman

[Pa Institutional Law Project @PA_ILP]

According to Feldman, about 5% of the state's prison population is in solitary confinement. He said that about half of that group — compared to one-third of the overall prison population — have a history of mental illness.
