    Writing Drafts - 8th Amendment - Eliza Bowman

    Uploaded by

    api-298593598
    Solitary confinement is considered a cruel and inhumane punishment by many. Prisoners held in solitary confinement are isolated in small cells for 22-24 hours per day without human contact or interaction. This has been shown to cause severe psychological distress, with some prisoners experiencing lasting mental illness or attempting suicide. Former prisoners have spoken out about the psychological torture of solitary confinement and how it seems to make behavior even worse. There is a growing public debate about whether solitary confinement should be limited or abolished due to these negative effects on human health and behavior.
