Albert Woodfox was incarcerated for forty-three years and ten months in Louisiana’s prison system, almost entirely in solitary confinement. His memoir, Solitary, foregrounds an intense entanglement of antiblack captivity and carceral confinement within the prison plantation known as Louisiana State Penitentiary, Angola. This chapter articulates critical moments in Albert’s life that transcend the boundaries of narration and description in order to uncover his knowledge of social death and slavery’s carceral afterlife. From internalizing and accepting racialized abuse at the hands of the criminal legal system during his youth, to witnessing mass captivity and racial terror inside Angola’s prison plantation, to facing a lifetime of separation from kin while surviving political retaliation under the torturous conditions of prolonged solitary confinement, Albert’s narrative reveals how the logics and architectures of slavery’s past endure as the social foundations to present-day mass incarceration.
