Identify solitary confinement as cruel and unusual punishment

Created by I.V. on April 25, 2013

Solitary confinement is a cruel and unusual punishment and should be abolished.

-While simple and just to an outsider, almost all prisoners lose their minds and wish they had received the death penalty. Many commit suicide.

-It's also very expensive to keep so many prisoners alive so long and to pay prison guards and to keep so many prisons running.

-We owe it to those we torture to at least glance at this prisoner's documentation of his experience in solitary confinement: http://solitarywatch.com/2013/03/11/voices-from-solitary-a-sentence-wors...

-We should look into the death penalty and correctional facilities, so that criminals can learn and not just go crazy.

-At the very least, we should employ prisoners who are sane with work they can do inside the prison.
