The problem this blogger is writing about is a statement against solitary confinement not just pertaining to the prison system, juvenile justice systems, foster care, law enforcement techniques, mental health immigration enforcement but especially in light of the pandemic healthcare. The question is does this practice make the situation and the person worse off. In health care the question a person dying alone. And the right of a family member (or just humanitarian) to choose for themselves to put PPE to provide comfort aide. And spiritually taking away that hope is inhumane. I feel that I am against the practice. Lets find better ways.
Furthermore read these statistics: "The United States leads the world in its use of solitary confinement, locking away in isolation more of its population than any other country.
Every day, up to 48,000 inmates – or around 4% of the incarcerated population – are locked in some form of solitary confinement in detention centers, jails and prisons across the U.S.
Some spend months – or even years – at a time in isolation, only being allowed out a few times a week for a 10-minute shower or a short exercise period in an outdoor dog run. And it doesn’t only affect prisoners. Up to 20,000 other people are affected as well – working as correctional staff or providing mental health services or other programming."
This is not my fight but in line with a belief systems I aspire to support.
And these beliefs are not attributed to any government entity nor corporation. -A.T. Brooks
