Condolences to the Woodfox family. May your Grand Creator be a source of comfort and refuge in the days and months ahead. Albert's contribution to prison reform is a great accomplishment.

Deeply moved by Albert Woodfox’s brave and transformative life story. “Solitary” was an eye-opener for a 60’s white-guy kid who grew up in a rather accommodating New Orleans. I am very thankful for his honesty and tenacity in highlighting the truth of America at large, a great country not yet a shining beacon on a hill.
