The Mental Tricks That Get You Through Solitary

Seattle.gov

On today's installment of StoryCorps from Seattle's New Holly neighborhood, Gerald Hankerson talks to Rachael DeCruz about the mental tricks he used to survive 22 years  in prison, many in solitary. Today Hankerson is president of both the NAACP's Seattle King County branch and the three-state conference overseeing Alaska, Oregon and Washington. This talk was recorded last summer in the StoryCorps booth.
