ACLU Briefing Paper The Dangerous Overuse of Solitary Confinement in the United

Introduction Over the past two decades the correction system relies even on the installation of isolated superstores and even the entire "super prison" that is usually installed for decades or decades, with the prisoners extremely isolated It came to be like. The US super prison was rare before the 1990s, but today there are super units or facilities in 44 states and federal governments and there are at least 25,000 people nationwide.
