> I'd pick the enriched solitary confinement over having to socialise with the general prison population any day, wouldn't you? I bet you wouldn't after a few months. I also bet you wouldn't be well suited to getting out afterwards either. Prison should be about rehabilitation, and what your proposing is to isolate someone from society completely.

>what your proposing is to isolate someone from society completely // I think his motivation is right, to isolate inmates from the rarefied society that forms in prisons and instead to provide contact only to beneficial interactions and through useful means. What people probably need to enable their rehabilitation is to be relatively confined but not allowed to mix with other prisoners, instead getting human interaction - if they behave well - with non-criminals who can be emotional supportive, provide aspirations, provide companionship that does not involve drug seeking or sexual power plays, etc.. The apparent motive seems worthy.
