But what if they gonna stab somebody or somebody gonna stab them? I can see the purpose of solitary confinement. It might have been misused (like everything else). If the solution is better trained prison guard, or an alternative &quot;nicer confine area&quot; which cost more tax money, it seems pointless. Of course we need better prison guard operation process, but all you gonna get is &quot;they are trying their best&quot; kind of answer.
