I recently saw the movie Blue Is the Warmest Colour and there's a scene that starts with this song and it sounds A LOT like Grimes (especially Halfaxa) ❤️🎵 Love it! And the movie is so real, so touching, I cried twice while watching it...

It is very common when an inmate is within months of being released to let him serve out his last stretch in solitary and then release him to the streets. One classic case was Jonathan Dix, a severely depressed black inmate who went from months in [Special Management Unit] to Lewiston and was dead of an overdose within 2 weeks. I pleaded with Jonathan to head straight to his family in Brockton, MA, several of whom would have come to the prison to pick him up. What I saw in SMU were broken people who had lost all sense of dignity and self-respect, which led them to act out and earn more “high risk” time in solitary. In January, 1998, CNN Correspondent Peg Tyre quoted David Levin of Prisoners Legal Services, who called excessive solitary confinement “death by incarceration.” She interviewed psychiatrist Dr. Henry Weinstein (unrelated to inmate Sheldon Weinstein who bled out from an unattended ruptured spleen in Maine’s SMU on April 24, 2009). Dr. Weinstein described the symptoms of prisoners in solitary as ranging “…from memory loss to severe anxiety to hallucinations to delusions and, under the severest cases of sensory deprivation, people go crazy.”
