The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) just released a new video to draw attention to the problem of juvenile prisoners being held in solitary confinement. The video comes amid a multi-year campaign waged by the organization to end the practice of placing youth offenders, many of whom are charged with adult crimes and housed in adult facilities, in solitary confinement for up to 22-24 hours each day<\/p>\n

The video, like the problem itself, is hard to watch, but difficult to ignore, according to the group.<\/p>\n
