Last week, the ACLU, ACLU-PA, the Abolitionist Law Center, and two law firms announced a settlement to our lawsuit against the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections that challenged the department's use of permanent, automatic solitary confinement for people who are sentenced to death. Some people on Pennsylvania's death row have been in solitary confinement for more than 30 years.
