MJP confirms Kenny "Zulu" Whitmore released from solitary
Kenny "Zulu" Whitmore has been released from solitary confinement after about 36 years at the infamous Angola prison, ending one of the longest stints in isolation in the United States. Whitmore's release into the general prison population at Louisiana State Penitentiary came little more than a year after The Medill Justice Project, as part of an investigation, challenged the then-warden to account for why he would hold a prisoner in isolation for so long. The warden told MJP then he would seriously consider releasing Whitmore from solitary confinement.
