Those who accept the practice consider it necessary for prisoners who are considered dangerous to other people (“the most predatory” prisoners), those who might be capable of leading crime groups from within, or those who are kept ‘incommunicado’ for purported reasons of national security. Finally, it may be used for prisoners who are at high risk of being attacked by other inmates, such as pedophiles, celebrities, or witnesses who are in prison themselves. This latter form of solitary confinement is sometimes referred to as protective custody.

Opponents of solitary confinement hold that it is a form of cruel and unusual punishment and torture because the lack of human contact, and the sensory deprivation that often go with solitary confinement, can have a severe negative impact on a prisoner’s mental state that may lead to certain mental illnesses such as depression, permanent or semi-permanent changes to brain physiology, an existential crisis and death.

It is considered by many legal scholars to be a form of psychological torture when the period of confinement is longer than a few weeks or is continued indefinitely. Men are being left in their for months on end and under the guise of ‘under investigation’. This practice leaves this wide open for abuse.
The prison can put these men in there indefinitely if they are under investigation, that is truly cruel and unusual treatment of these men.
Solitary confinement is not to used commonplace and willynilly for minor infractions, to do so is truly barbaric , cruel and injust.
All studies point to this, many judges speak to this, many advocates speak loudly about the barbaric use of solitary confinement of prisoners. All of the data suggests and points to the fact that solitary confinement is a bad practice. That it is inhumane, barbaric and counterproductive is without a doubt.
Men in charge at these prisons who use this practice have been desensitized to another mans pain and suffering. Prison is hell to begin with, men are removed from life as we all know it, locked away from their loved ones, from their children, their parents, locked away from everyday normal life. Nothing that resembles a normal life exists behind bars. It is hell. Men serve out their sentences for crimes committed but to furthermore heap on cruel and unusual punishment by putting men in the hole is warranted and simply unacceptable.
These men get 1 call per month to their family, for chilldren who only have their Dads voice to look forward to every day, this is cruelly punishing families also. Chilldren, have to wait a full month to hear their fathers voice and then only for a few minutes, they have to wait 30 days to hear their Dads say hello. How can this be? Children, mothers all suffering the pains of solitary confinement. These men are not animals to be locked away in a cage for 23 hrs a day. for what, who does it serve? Studies show that it does not cut down on violence it only increases it and recdivism amongst men who have endured solitary confinement is much higher than among general population.
.This is a system gone awol. Subjecting these men and their families to such cruelty is unconscionable and inhumane. It is beyond words. This is an unacceptable practice and must not continue.

MUCH LOVE TO YOU MALONE ALWAYS..
