        Well, not actually free 10,000 juveniles but release them from isolation. Some serious mental health care will be needed.

        @maiasz @Atul_Gawande That's wrong. There are 26 juveniles in federal prison. Slate article misleads; 10K prisoners in solitary inc adults

        And while there are ~10K juvies in state prisons/jails (tho most not in solitary), this does nothing for them. @DLind @maiasz @Atul_Gawande

        @JohnFPfaff @DLind I guess it's debatable depending on how define terms, but I'd say it's an area with a lot of recent activist achievements

        Yeah, strange article. Also, this is NOT solitary victory that juvie advocates have been fighting for. Bc, you know: 26! @saramayeux @DLind

        @Atul_Gawande @trevortimm fuck. That really is sick. Let's not forget that we're still punishing (UN Says "torturing") adults this way.

        @Atul_Gawande Given what you do for a living, and given what I've seen in your writing, I bet I can open a *big* pit of despair here.

        @Atul_Gawande So, you're one of my favorite authors. How open would you be to a contrarian viewpoint here? Devil's advocacy matters
