Isolation: prison inside prison is a documentary made with Metromuster for the program 30 minuts from the Catalan public television, TV3. It was broadcast on April 7, 2019.
The report addresses the reality of people living in the Special Departments of Closed Regime in Catalan prisons, who may be closed for months in a cell for up to 18 hours a day. It is focused on the story of Raquel E.F., a 36-year-old woman who killed herself after six months of confinement in the prison of Brians 1.
