solitary confinement

Well first off i should say that i would only register inmates who were in dire need of solitary confinement into that facility. But for the intrest of the law i would do as washington would and set a limit to how long an inmate could stay in solitary confinement, i wouldnt make it 20 days though it would be more like a few months. To answer the second question i would tell the guards their limits and let them have a set of rules. These rules would contain the idea of letting the prisoner stay in the yard longer for good behavior, and even earn privilages like better food.

These would only be decided by the warden ...i would let the prisoners appeal to the warden to let them out of solitary sooner but there would be no court decision in the matter, this is becaus ewith more people deciding then there might be alot a bias on the matter. Going back to the matter of rues, i would not let inmates interact with other inmates, this is because they will only create trouble. I would also gear solitary confinement tword rehabilitation. This idea would reduce the chance of prisoners in solitary confinement from becoming mentally unstable.

These ideas would only work if preformed everyday, this would insure the percent of success in this program. The prisoners going into solitary confinement would start off with no rights , like yard time and extra meals per day. This would make them work for their rights, such as good behavior and mental stability, then i would have the guards or warden give them more rights lie good meals and more yard time. These are the ideas i would implement in prison systems around the U.S. to improve solitary confinement.
