Imani Pennant, of Farmington, speaks at the Stop Solitary CT and Coalition Organizations Rally outside the CT State Capitol in March 2021. Pennant said he was put into solitary confinement for 20 days at MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution after getting signatures from other prisoners to ask to improve the conditions of the prison. That action was considered inciting a riot, Pennant said. Yehyun Kim / ctmirror.org
