Quinnipiac University Podcasts: "Fluid Truth" (Optional Listening)

With Attorney Shirley Skyers-Thomas

Fluid Truth Podcast - Episode 37 - Surviving Solitary Confinement with Leighton Johnson

This podcast is optional listening, but that is not a reflection on the importance of the discussion in the podcast.  The podcast is sponsored by the Quinnipiac University Podcast Studio and hosted by Attorney Shirley Skyers-Thomas.

"In this episode, Attorney Shirley Skyers-Thomas sits down with Leighton Johnson. Mr. Johnson has endured an abundance of hardship after spending time inside solitary confinement. A native of the Bronx, he discusses in great detail the experience of living inside solitary confinement and the inhumane practices that he was forced into. Leighton is now a strong advocate for people whose voices and cries for help would otherwise be ignored. He is dedicated to using his platform to ensure that others won't have to go through the same thing that he did.
