Exactly why do we need &quot;solitary confinement&quot; in the first place?<p>If a person is dangerous for others or some extra punishment is needed, put them in a single cell, but in the same place as the other cells and just don&#x27;t let them get out (for the restaurant, exercise yard, etc.) for the confinement period.<p>Unless they scream or something, there&#x27;s no need to be a totally isolated room.
