The Importance Of Solitary Confinement

There are plenty reasons that solitary confinement should be changed based on research, but there is also many obvious reasons for it to stay the same. Most people would feel bad for someone just sitting in a jail 23 hours a day but you shouldn't. The reason that they are sitting in a jail for 23 hours a day is because they hurt or did something horribly bad. The only reason they are in jail is because of themselves. For whatever they did this is what they get as a punishment. The most important part of our days is being safe. And to leave these prisoners with others horrid thing may happen.

Barack Obama is on the side of changing these rules. He thinks that the punishment should fit the crime. Obama says “How can we make prisoners live in unnecessary solitary confinement, knowing its effects, and then expect them to return to our communities as whole people? It doesn't make us safer. It's an insult to our common humanity.” Obamas quote is simply not true. If these mentally ill people are just left alone with others there are possibilities for others to be harmed.
“Solitary confinement has gone too far. The teens should not be tortured so harshly. They should be punished but not to the point where they want to commit suicide.” Says Sam Prudovsky. Ava Denucci says “No, the rules of solitary confinement are fair because they decided to do the crime so they need to do the time.” Declan Chamberlain says “I think that the rules should be change but the criminal should be punished in a way that they won't do it
