Solitary confinement is torture, plain and simple. I'm not a fan of SBF, but no one should have to endure it, even just for 24 hours.
- borski 2y ago“Solitary confinement may only be imposed in exceptional circumstances, and "prolonged" solitary confinement of more than 15 consecutive days is regarded as a form of torture.” https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2020/02/united-states-prolonged-solitary-confinement-amounts-psychological-torture https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2020/02/united-state... I cannot find a single reputable source that states solitary confinement for a total of 24 hours is torture.
- ty6853 2y agoI'd argue jail itself is a form of torture. It's quite barbaric and shocking we do it for anything beyond violent crime.
- chneu 2y ago"5 seconds of water bordering isn't torture, but 30 seconds is." "5 seconds of 110v shocks isn't torture, but 30 seconds is." Solitary is absolutely torture no matter the duration. The duration threshold for "torture" is relative in this case so someone could consider it "torture" after just a few minutes.
