Advocates from #HALTsolitary continue to demand City Council Speaker Corey Johnson call a vote to permanently end the city’s use of solitary confinement in its jail system.
As first reported by amNewYork Metro, the 34th official cosponsor signed on to support legislation (Intro. 2173) to end solitary confinement in New York City jails, meaning that the bill now has veto-proof support in the City Council. The only thing standing between the bill and its passage is a vote on the City Council floor.
