Ep. 9 The Supermax Twins: Part 8-Vishal of the ACLU of Virginia

To close out our Supermax Twin series, we speak with Vishal Agraharkar of the ACLU of Virginia about Thorpe v. Virginia Department of Corrections, the class-action lawsuit challenging conditions in Red Onion State Prison and Wallens Ridge State Prison.

Using this case as a lens, we examine the use of prolonged solitary confinement, ongoing litigation, and the broader questions of transparency and accountability within Virginia’s supermax facilities.
