Is time our enemy?: spirituality and creativity -- Solitary confinement and the economy of violence -- Solitary and the assault on the human spirit -- Sending a message: the expressive view of punishment -- Should we banish the wicked?: the ethics of solitary confinement -- From fear to hope: concluding thoughts.

"Spirituality in Dark Places" explores the spiritual consequences and ethics of modern solitary confinement. Jeffreys emphasizes how solitary confinement damages our spiritual lives, focusing particularly on how it destroys our relationship to time and undermines our creativity. Solitary inmates experience profound temporal dislocation that erodes their personal identities. They are often isolated from music, art, and books, or find their creativity tightly controlled. Informed by experiences with inmates, chaplains, and employees in the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, Jeffreys also evaluates the ethics of solitary confinement, considering but ultimately rejecting the argument that punitive isolation justifiably expresses moral outrage at heinous crimes. Finally, Jeffreys proposes changes in solitary confinement in order to mitigate its profound damage to both prisoners and human dignity at large.
