100 words in response to the questions and a 100-word minimum critical response to 1 classmate’s post

To further your thinking about the assigned readings regarding institutional corrections (Chapter 11), a discussion prompt is provided below. First, compose a minimum of 100 words in response to the questions. Second, save the work to your hard drive, and then, post your response here in Canvas. Next, read the responses provided by your classmates and compose a 100-word minimum critical response to 1 classmate’s post. (I will provide you with the classmate’s post right-after you kindly provide my the answer because it will be visible after I post my answer)

Finally, if you pull additional information from a source (internet, book, article, journal article) to develop your response, please be sure to cite it appropriately in APA format. Below is an example to follow for a journal article. This includes the authors’ names, year of publication, title of the article, the name of the journal in italics, the volume number of the journal in italics, and the issue number in parentheses, followed by the page number range:

Solitary confinement involves locking prisoners behind steel doors for 22 to 24 hours a day. It often goes by a variety of names including isolation, SHU (special housing units), administrative segregation, supermax prisons, the hole, MCU (management control units), CMU (communications management units), STGMU (security threat group management units), voluntary or involuntary protective custody, special needs units, or permanent lockdown.

Answer, is solitary confinement a violation of an individual’s constitutional rights? Is this a policy that makes sense? Why or why not? And, if not solitary confinement, then what alternative can be used?
