Abstract
[Many prisoners in solitary confinement experience symptoms such as anxiety, paranoia, insomnia, headaches, hallucinations and other perceptual distortions. While psychiatric accounts of the effects of supermax confinement are important, especially in a legal context, they are insufficient to account for the phenomenological and even ontological harm of solitary confinement. This paper offers a phenomenological analysis of the lived experience of space in supermax confinement by drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s account of intercorporeal depth.]
