Prisoner rights group in New York says too many prisoners with mental health issues are being placed in solitary confinement and that plans to increase the number of solitary confinement cells at Riker’s Island are misguided.  WBAI’s Jose Santiago discussed the issue with Jennifer Parish of the Urban Justice Center, one of the member groups of the New York City Jails Action Coalition.
