It is legal in the US to utilize solitary confinement methods that are implemented 24 hours a day. [1] There are facilities without windows and some keep the lights on all day and night in their solitary confinement units. [2]
In a recent story, D3f4ult discussed that this happened to him for a year and he was given 24/7 isolation for one year. [2]

- konschubert 3y agoThis is so barbarian, I’m sorry.

- actionfromafar 3y agoIs that an argument?
- cromka 3y ago> things one usually do And this is an excuse to treat everyone else the same? Your words, not mine.
- meiraleal 3y agoIs it then an excuse to treat some of them worse than the others? What would that be, the capital punishment? I prefer to not be the one saying they are sorry to a criminal without knowing nothing about the level of barbarianism of said criminal.
- novemp 3y agoYou'd rather risk being cruel to an innocent person than be nice to a criminal.
- FreelanceX 3y agoBarbarian is sadly also how I would describe your comment.
- konschubert 3y agoI understand that some prisoners are so dangerous that you might want to deny them contact to other prisoners. But you can still provide them with a view of the sky and some fresh air time every day.
- qingcharles 3y agoIt comes down to money, sadly. It costs too much to provide secure windows or provide outdoor space for fresh air.
- jmcqk6 3y agoIt doesn't have to do with money. The cheapest fucking thing in the world is sunlight. it is completely about barbarian, punitive, punishment. it doesn't work, but it makes many of us feel good, so we continue doing it.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 3y agoWindowless dorms come to mind.
- qingcharles 3y agoMy first five years were with the lights on 24/7.
