The Issue

Solitary Confinement is a serious issue and can cause many issues to inmates that are put in Solitary Confinement. It can cause mental health issues to those affected. Many prisoners are put in solitary confinement for over 15 days, which can cause permanent effects on their health. Some of these effects include but are not limited to Panic Attacks, Paranoia, Depression, Suicidal thoughts, and even Insomnia;

This not only goes against the basic 8th Amendment right to safety from cruel and unusual punishments. If the effects are so traumatic, then why is solitary confinement still a thing. With your support, we must ban solitary confinement
