Yes, Long Term Solitary Confinement should Be banned. It should be banned because it is a very harmful type of torture. It is a type of torture because in Solitary Confinement, the prisoners are in a really small bathroom where you can only walk like 2 steps forwards and 2 steps backward. There is only a bed and a toilet. They barely leave there cells and any other living organisms. 1 prisoner would lie down on the floor for hours just to see the feet of somebody walking by. Another prisoner had a wasp fly into his/her cell and befriended it, talking to it and feeding to it like a friend. A lot of them had become nearsighted. After talking for 1 hour, most of the prisoners lost their voices because they didn’t use their vocal cords very often anymore. Even short term Solitary Confinement is a nightmare. If that’s not torture, then what is? No one should have to deal with that in this world.
U.S. has told other countries about banning torture but it still happens inside U.S. though! The reason most people don’t know about this is because most prisons hide this information behind their walls. Not letting reporters, lawyers, and sometimes even family members if they think the prisoner is gonna tell them too much information about them. They don’t let the family members even visit even if they scheduled it sometimes.
These are the reasons why Long Term Solitary confinement should be banned. If people don’t think so, spend 1 day inside your bathroom without any living contact. See how it feels.
