He was like no he sat indian style on the floor and hummed all day or laughed to himself remembering stuff. He had a hour of release so they let him pace a small rec area under guard.

Dont want to get sent to prison, dont be a criminal. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24115171 THIS! Normally I would agree, but modern governments have a trick of creating "administrative criminals" by passing law that turns otherwise law abiding and peaceful citizens into criminals. They also create conditions that manufacture criminals. Such as, for instance, failure to instantly obey a police command. A person who is hard of hearing, does not clearly understand, or is stiff in their joints, may not be able to instantly comply. Then once they have their hands on you, it becomes a matter of normal course to manufacture infractions. |

Hellena Handbasket User ID: 1439176 United States 10/09/2012 03:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So, the purpose of solitary confinement is to discipline or punish? If it was like The Hole in the movie Cool Hand Luke, I'd say yes. Thats punishment. But to be away from the general population, in a private cell seems more like a "time out". But thats just me. Most people bug the shit outta me after awhile. If I was a lifer in the Big House, I'd like a little time away from the crowd. |
