Set Free Therapy

Many Prisons, Many Keys

"If you're born in America with a black skin, you're born in prison, and the masses of black people in America today are beginning to regard our plight or predicament in this society as one of a prison inmate." - Malcolm X

"Jails and prisons are designed to break human beings, to convert the population into specimens in a zoo—obedient to our keepers, but dangerous to each other." - Angela Davis

"The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave." - Assata Shakur

Who is it good for?

Those who have experienced direct police brutality, incarceration and solitary confinement. These events can trigger thoughts, feelings and responses directly tied to the historical trauma of being in bondage as slaves and cause retraumatization whether the person experiencing it is conscious of it or not. This can result in negative outcomes including depression, anxiety/paranoia, drug/alcohol dependence, violence against self and others, and/or chronic recidivism/institutionalization.

Please note: According to the United Nations (UN), "prolonged" solitary confinement of more than 15 consecutive days is regarded as a form of torture.
