The person in the ted talk I watched today says that solitary confinement is bad because it is torture. I however have a different opinion on this. I think that solitary confinement is useful for people like terrorist or mass shooters.
The reason I think that solitary confinement is useful is because if you give them a regular punishment like a month in jail then once they get out they will just make more trouble knowing that they won’t get any serious punishment. This is backed up by a person who also made a ted talk and he was a gang member. He went to jail many times but still committed crimes . But if the crimes were really bad then they could just execute them.
If the the crime wasn’t so bad then they could put them in solitary confinement but send a guard to talk to them once a day so they still have to suffer some pain but still get to be in touch with the outside world. Another thing they could do is just send them to regular prison.
This is why I think solitary confinement is useful and why people should use it.
