Solitary

Buchzusammenfassung

Albert Woodfox was born in 1947 into a poor Louisiana family, and grew up in New Orleans. After 44 years of solitary confinement, during which time he educated himself and others, Woodfox was finally released in 2016. He is now an activist.

As the trial for Brent Miller’s murder loomed, Albert Woodfox faced mounting challenges, from the betrayal of supposed allies like Harry and Jill Schafer—FBI informants paid to sabotage his defense—to the brutal realities of Angola prison, a place rife with racism, violence, and systemic abuse. Despite enduring solitary confinement for decades, relentless degradation, and a justice system stacked against him, Woodfox’s resolve never wavered. Inspired by the Black Panther Party’s principles, he fought to improve prison conditions, protect vulnerable inmates, and expose institutionalized racism. His journey, marked by resilience and an unwavering commitment to justice, culminated in his eventual release after 43 years of isolation, though his fight for racial equity and truth continued beyond the prison walls.
