A couple of weeks ago (I've been on vacation - so sue me!), NPR had an in-depth series exploring the role of solitary confinement in the modern criminal justice system. An increasingly large number of inmates in this country serve time in solitary, some for their entire terms. Keep in mind that lots of those folks will get out, sometimes released to the street directly from solitary. It's worth considering whether solitary is used too often and imposed too lightly.
