Administrative segregation is a legislated tool used for various problems within institutions, such as violence within the penitentiary. It's a flawed and now thankfully unconstitutional tool, but it is the established tool nonetheless. Simply removing that tool without giving Parliament time to legislate an alternative would leave them in a somewhat chaotic position. That's not to say that in the meantime, it's the status quo. Corrections Canada has essentially been put on notice, so any use of solitary going forward is going to be under more scrutiny, and hopefully some aspects of the decision (like not having the right to counsel during segregation hearings) will be corrected sooner than that.
