Action Alert – Demand an end to Arthur “Cetewayo” Johnson’s 34 years in solitary confinement

October 21, 2013 · by abolitionist · in action alert, alc cases, arthur cetewayo johnson, cruel and unusual punishment, due process, solitary confinement

Arthur “Cetewayo” Johnson is a politicized prisoner who has been held in solitary confinement by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) since 1979.

Despite his exemplary disciplinary record of the past 25 years, and his recently turning 61 years old, Cetewayo continues to be subjected to 23-24-hour lockdown in solitary confinement with its attendant austerity, monotony, and deprivations. He has not had human contact with anybody except prison guards in over 30 years.
