"NEWBORN" BRINGS NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT WITH POWERFUL NBA ARENA ACTIVATION IN DETROIT
The campaign used a prisoner-themed arena activation to draw attention to solitary confinement, which affects more than 80,000 people in the United States each day, organizers said.
- On April 10, during the Detroit Pistons vs. Milwaukee Bucks game, an in-arena activation spotlighted solitary confinement realities, with attendees dressed as prisoners creating a visual presence on one of the NBA's biggest stages.
- In partnership with Mansa Studios, Anti-Agency Group, and Triple Play, the activation aimed to spark awareness around solitary confinement, linking the practice to themes in the upcoming feature film NEWBORN.
- According to the Revised Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, solitary confinement is "the confinement of prisoners for 22 hours or more a day without meaningful human contact," affecting more than 80,000 individuals in the United States daily.
- The Detroit activation follows a previous event at a Los Angeles Dodgers Game where attendees dressed as prisoners, and a three-day Easter Weekend Visual Impact Event featured a mobile installation throughout New York City.
- Directed by Nate Parker, NEWBORN opens in theaters nationwide today, April 10, exploring isolation's consequences as Chris Newborn, played by David Oyelowo, rebuilds his life after spending seven years in solitary confinement.
