I believe folks generally think of a small dark hole in the ground when they think of solitary. If the room is average sized, well lit, there is a television station on, and a few stations on a radio available, plus reading materials, writing materials, and things to keep a prisoner occupied, I’m not convinced it’s a serious psychological problem when a prisoner is alone.
It may be a good idea for guards to make the rounds to talk to these prisoners during the day.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see a psychiatric organization slam my perception, but I am still not convinced they would be right.
I appreciate your opposing opinion. You may be right.
It probably depends on the person. Some people would be just fine with tv/radio/books, others would go stir-crazy. Useful work that actually pays a wage minus a room and board fee is probably the best solution IMHO.
Solitude is IMO good for all of us at times.
I call it my decompression mode.
Give one time to earnestly Pray and reflect then rejuvenate for what living in the world brings on next.
I dont remember reading in the Bible that Jesus was harmed by his time out in the desert alone. : )
