Should Solitary Confinement Use be Reduced and Elimanted? in General
Solitary confinement leads to many mental illnesses. Instead of correcting a prisoner's behavior, it can make a prisoner more violent. Humans are social creatures, we can not stand not having any brain simulation. By stopping any brain simulation even for a short amount of time, it can lead to hallucinations and inability to think. Solitary confinement also leads to suicide. Many people(including me) would say that the worst people deserve to be put in solitary confinement. Bottom Line? Locking people up for 23 hours a day would not do them any good. Solitary confinement should be reduced to only the most harmful people.
I would like to bring up another problem. If you arrest a young person and put him in Solitary confinement when they gets out, they may lack some skills in have to resort back to what got them in Solitary confinement to began with. It is not a effect system effecting their mental health an preventing some from learning skills that might help them not commit a crime. We should find other ways like maybe canceling. That way we won't have to pay for a not very helpful and mean system. The only benefit is keeping them away from us. But I rather have them become productive members then being gone for a wail only to return with another crime. Plus I feel sorry for them. : (
Yes, locking people up with little to no social activity is very harmful to human brains. It can cause visual and auditory hallucinations, hypersensitivity to noise and touch, insomnia and paranoia, uncontrollable feelings of rage and fear, distortions of time and perception, increased risk of suicide, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Solitary Confinement also fits the definition of torture. The U.N. Convention Against Torture defines torture has an act that 'by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person”

No. People don't end up in solitary confinement for no reason, they have been put there because they are a threat to others. Why should we endanger others by not keeping the worst of them isolated?
Nowadays people are scared to execute criminals. Solitary confinement is bad, but on a slightly off topic note, I think we should execute all of our serious criminals.
