Amnesty International has created a petition for Albert Woodfox, who has spent 41 years in solitary confinement, from the 1972 conviction of murdering a guard at Angola. The court has since then, reversed its decision – on several occasions – but the Attorney General of the state of Louisiana has stubbornly appealed, each ruling. This petition is asking that he cease his appeals.
The link to the petition can be found on our Petitions page, or you can simply click here.

Forty one years in solitary–we should be ashamed of ourselves. Theres got to be a better way. I have lost all respect for our judical system and our lawmakers–Congress. What a waste. Most of the people in prison are there because of an addiction–yes, we should punish them but also give them TREATMENT so they don’t come back. How hard is that to understand?
