Jeffreys explores the spiritual consequences and ethics of modern solitary confinement and emphasizes how solitary confinement damages our spiritual lives. He focuses particularly on how it destroys one’s relationship to time and undermines our creativity, and proposes institutional changes in order to mitigate profound damage to prisoners.
