You're viewing a single thread.
One sided story.
Psycopaths come in all shapes and sizes, maybe
the kid is one "accident" away from stabbing another kid, given his prior transgressions.
Maybe a child shouldn’t be punished for pre crimes with a method that will stunt his emotional growth
I guess there’s the idea of solitary confinement is inhumane that people have against.
I'm trying so hard to understand your comment, but it's fracturing my brain...
I guess there’s the idea of "solitary confinement is inhumane" that people have, against (this decision).
Wow! Thank you!
I don't understand how it's inhumane. If the kid is dangerous then it saves other inmates, if he isn't then it keeps him safe. I would never want to be in gen pop if I got arrested. Just not sure the food is worse.
Look up what people who are put in solitary confinement go through then.
It is a multi-faceted issue for sure. Some of those facets are the ones you mention. Another is the general negative effect of solitary confinement, especially on an 11-year-old.
I just woke up when I wrote that, I’ll fix it.
You're awesome. Thanks for fixing it and sorry to call you out like that. I felt like I was having a stroke but I knew you had something worth reading in there!
No problem m8.
Omg, thank you for that clarification. And yeah, I had a roommate who had done a short amount of solitary and that was enough to fuck him up for life.
Solitary confinement is abusive for adults, there is absolutely no excuse for using it on an 11 year old:

And there is no debate they used solitary on the kid:
