Solitary Confinement

I think that solitary confinement is a little too loose when it comes to its prisoners. If i were to make a law about it i would make it a little more strict. The criteria that is there now for example are: Do they have an outside area? Are their medical records being kept? Do they have adequate medical care? What was the reason for placing them in the unit, and where they aware? These are too vague because the people at the prisons can lie no matter what and people are going to believe them. If i were to make a law, it would be something like: are they able to be outside in a large enough space (maybe give certain dimensions)? Is some one checking up on them every__ days and keeping them on record to where they can prove it with specific dates? What is the specific reason for putting them there and are they fully aware of it and agree to it. I think that by these more specific laws, it would be easier and stricter.
When it comes to the reason why they should be put there, I think it depends on the situation that takes place, not something made up. If a prisoner intentionally attacks a guard or someone working in the prison then yes they should go into solitary confinement. If it was something stupid like the guard didn't like how the prisoner looked or acted for some reason and put them there then they should be able to do that. it all depends on the situation at hand because sometimes it is legit while others it is not.
I think that solitary confinement is a punishment to your outburst. I don't think that they should be able to try it in court because they are most likely to be found guilty and go anyways. If it is something small where they didn't do anything and can back it up then maybe on certain circumstances, but most of the time no. They act out for a reason and have to deal with the consequences.
