Insanity, if that's accurate enough to describe it.
Being permanently trapped within yourself.
What a fantastic opportunity to devote considerable time wandering in the otherworlds!

"....Whatever the reasons, such extreme isolation and sensory deprivation can take a severe, sometimes permanent, toll on emotional and mental health. Researchers have found that prisoners in solitary quickly become withdrawn, hypersensitive to sights and sounds, paranoid, and more prone to violence and hallucinations......"

often the situation is simply a practice at the facility.
at the slightest gesture of resistance....down the hole you go.
Solitary confinement sounds safer than being grouped together with a bunch of crazy criminals. It sounds better than being raped 'Occasionally' or put into a cell with someone who's got a history of troublemaking or with a paranoid. It may even sound better than being released into a society that is not hiring. I mean...you only have to put up with yourself in solitary confinement. There is no pressure to do anything. Maybe it is the quality of the solitary confinement that is truly demented?
this
you would be 100% wrong . its psychology damaging beyond measure and torture
Sounds like maybe the problem is that prisons are very old technology. What methods do they have that are better than solitary confinement?
integration, education , and not locking up petty crimes
If, somehow, it ever came to it, I'd prefer the death penalty to indefinite solitary confinement.

and I would agree....and say more so....
such practice is cruel and unusual punishment.
It seems cruel and torturous to me. I'm not sure I have better solutions, though.
If someone is in a maximum security prison for a violent crime, and then further has a history of causing violence to other inmates or receiving violence from other inmates, solitary confinement is an option.
I'm against the idea of using it specifically as a punishment, as that seems counter-productive. But if it's used for the safety of the prisoner or the safety of other prisoners, it's a hard problem.

yeah....caught that part in the radio interviews...
but the report was an expose' about the practice as everyday work in the prisons.....
so many have suffered under the disposition of the guards.
