520    "[This] is the unforgettable life story of a man who 
       served more than four decades in solitary confinement--in 
       a 6-foot by 9-foot cell, 23 hours a day, in notorious 
       Angola prison in Louisiana--for a crime he did not commit.
       That Albert Woodfox survived was, in itself, a feat of 
       extraordinary endurance against the violence and 
       deprivation he faced daily. That he was able to emerge 
       from his odyssey within America's prison and judicial 
       systems with his humanity and sense of hope for the future
       intact is a triumph of the human spirit, and makes his 
       book a clarion call to reform the inhumanity of solitary 
       confinement in the United States and around the world. 
       Arrested often as a teenager in New Orleans, Albert was 
       behind bars in his early twenties when he was inspired to 
       join the Black Panther Party because of its social 
       commitment and code of living. He was serving a 50-year 
       sentence in Angola prison in Louisiana for armed robbery 
       when on April 17, 1972, a white guard was killed. Albert 
       and another member of the Panthers were immediately 
       accused of the crime and put in solitary confinement by 
       the warden. Without a shred of actual evidence against 
       them, their trial was a sham of justice that gave them 
       life sentences in solitary. Decades passed before Albert 
       gained a lawyer of consequence; even so, sixteen more 
       years and multiple appeals were needed before he was 
       finally released in February 2016. Remarkably self-aware 
       that anger or bitterness would have destroyed him in 
       solitary confinement, sustained by the shared solidarity 
       of two fellow Panthers, Albert turned his anger into 
       activism and resistance. The Angola 3, as they became 
       known, resolved never to be broken by the grinding 
       inhumanity and corruption that effectively held them for 
       decades as political prisoners. Albert survived to give us
       Solitary, a chronicle of rare power and humanity that 
       proves the better spirits of our nature can thrive against
       any odds."--Dust jacket.
