they really ramp it up by prohibiting books or other media. that's basically the next level of solitary, because there has to be further layers of punishment built in. that and the fact you only get flavorless "nutriloaf" aka bread and water, modern form.

so just a featureless room with only your mind to occupy you for possibly a lifetime, or long stretches (weeks, months) if being used as a punishment. and if you lose it they just beat the shit out of you and possibly tie you down in a restraint chair.

i can see how people lose it just to create a sense of time by fighting with the guards

because I guess people want to kill him

None of the people that want to kill him are his fellow prisoners. Solitary probably just makes it easier for them to do it.

The real reason is of course to fuck him up in every way they can.

Yeah it's literally torture.

My brother was in for unarmed robbery, spent over a third of 6 year sentence in the hole. I was already disgusted with our prison system but after having experience with it....barbaric doesn't even come close.

Free and good USA still uses solitary confinment.

Authoritarian and bad Soviet Union forbade the use of handcuffs in prisons.

From watching a lot of prison documentaries in my younger years: it absolutely does get more locked down than that. There's a lot of time in which the cells are just unlocked and inmates can wander around and play cards and shit. Even in high security bad murder guy prison.

Solitary confinement is torture, multiple studies and just having empathy have proven that multiple times.

I don't think torturing someone to protect them from being stabbed is a good idea but technically it does the job.

Barbarism is the point

Wait ‘til you find out slavery is still legal 😳

People want to kill him??? Wtf

Its not about people wanting to kill him, they want the isolation to break him
