Solitary confinement is a subject that has been readdressed and discussed as of recent. People are starting to think about the rights of prisoners. Solitary is just one of those things. It's just one of those things. Does solitary confinement need laws to regulate the amount of time spent there? Personally, I think that there should be something like that. I think that use of solitary confinement is fine for up to a year, but any longer than that is excessive. However, once those prisoners come back out and they get into more trouble with the general prison populace, they can go back in there.
I wouldn't give prison officials a free hand in deciding the amount of time in solitary. I could picture these officials throwing the rules right out the window because they hold some sort of authority and probably feel as if they can do whatever they want. A lot of authority is like that. Their heads get big and they feel as if they're better than everyone. It sickens me. Restriction on prison officials is the key here.
I wouldn't allow prisoners to challenge their position in court. That's a bit ridiculous.
