Kristina LaPlant, Political Science Public Admin, Political Science & Public Administration, authored the article "Locked in a Box: How Activist Art Affects Opinions about Solitary Confinement" in New Political Science published on Saturday, Oct. 17 by Taylor & Francis. LaPlant and colleagues examine how exposure to activist political art influences citizens’ beliefs about solitary confinement. Analyses reveal that participants who entered a solitary confinement replica cell for a short amount of time were significantly less likely to support solitary confinement. Race, gender, and political ideology were also significantly associated with attitudes toward solitary confinement.
