I heard on the radio that someone was proposing an actual bill, but when I looked on google, this was all I could find.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nati ... t/5817559/
"Leaders of a Senate panel called on federal and state prison authorities Tuesday to ban the use of solitary confinement for juveniles, pregnant women and the mentally ill as part of a national reassessment of the harshest method of incarceration."

Has anyone heard otherwise?

I also found stuff about New York, but I really thought that the story I heard was national.
