>Is solitary confinement unethical?
Yes. It's basically a form of cruel and unusual punishment.
>Why do most people do terrible in solitary confinement?
Because humans are social beings. A social being can be destroyed by taking away its social relationships.

But if an inmate is a danger to other inmates and guards, why should he be allowed to wander freely in general population?
Lincoln Moore
Obviously they should not. Solitary confinement as it is usually applied comprises more than that, however, and is commonly used as a punishment.

If you are acting up in prison, what should the punishment be? Getting the shit beat out of you by guards? Taking away commissary only works for so long. Defiant inmates compromise the safety of guards, who are more often than not out numbered.
What about pedophiles and child murdereres? Putting them in general population would be dangerous to their own safety. Why shouldn't they be put in 23 hour lockdown for their own safety?

Dude
What if?
We put a social animal in solitary confinement?

All Americans prisons do is make better criminals.
When you put a really fucked up one in solitary they get even more fucked up.
It's fucking brilliant.
Take a petty criminal and put them in general population and they will graduate to felonies.
Take a felon and put them in solitary and they will graduate to being a serial killer.
Then we'll let them all out onto the streets where they commit new crimes and we'll wonder why the fuck they don't magically become productive citizens.
American prisons are criminal colleges.
They teach you how to be a better criminal.

Petty criminals rarely go upstate for long term prison sentences. You have to really fuck up to keep racking up misdemeanors and a judge decides to send you upstate for hard time. At least here in Florida.

I don't know what exactly you mean by this, but as I said, solitary confinement as it is usually applied comprises sensory deprivation and complete deprivation of human contact. These are not needed to protect anyone.
Whatever the punishment for misbehavior should be, it shouldn't amount to torture, as solitary confinement does.

look, all reports from ''patients'' form these places in liberal societies show how it is awful, between the crazies, the lack of money to fulfill the desire of liberals to confine the crazies, the lack of cares of the liberals working there.
the easiest way to go there is to claim to some ER doctor to be suicidal, then to agree to everything those liberals/doctors say. then good look luck getting out of there.
