I'm sorry I can't provide a website for you please check out the show insider. Specifically check out where Reese Witherspoon and Cheryl Strayed are interviewed together regarding when Cheryl up and left her life and her family on an extremely difficult hike alone

mostly this book about  living for periods of time in solitary confinement in this particular case was for 94 days.  I have not read the book nor seen the movie but I'm sure that I would love both.

You would be shocked at how much I know about the subject of solitary confinement.

"Talk of the Nation"

I caught the last 15 minutes of Talk of the Nation on NPR today.  They were talking about life in Supermax.  I've been researching the subject of solitary confinement for 7 years now and this story covers that subject.  The effects both physically and mentally of persons who live in solitary confinement.  This was a fascinating presentation on how America handles for better or for worse, it's criminals.  Please check it out.
