No Way Out: Undercover in Solitary Confinement

Gregg Marcantel, Secretary of Corrections for New Mexico, spent 48 hours in solitary confinement.

[@Sinn0100]

So what!? These men (mostly) are predators and they prey on everyone. These guys going back to the general population will begin systematically preying on non-violent offenders (fact). No, these convicts need to know that if they hurt others they will be punished and punished harshly. Now, I am not an ogre, I would not put a person in solitary for minor offenses (unless they are habitual). I think solitary confinement as a punishment is over used and should only be applied for violence, rape, and theft. What I mean by that, is...okay, smoking a cigarrette is not allowed in prison. Inmates that are caught smoking have been put into solitary and that I feel is overly harsh. Personally, I don't think they should be put into solitary for any addiction. What I propose, is very much like the felony scoresheet today. You take an offender, you assign each one a personal scoresheet when they enter the prison. Their score starts at 0 and as they behave, I would grant the perks (more yard time, prison jobs that pay, more TV time, and perhaps even unrestricted movie night...I could even be persuaded to bring in video games for well adjusted men that act like men). This scoresheet would have a points based system that when added up give the prison officials a guideline in which to follow. If an inmate passes a certain threshold they will be faced with the possibility of solitary confinement. This scoresheet would also act as a guide for payroll and probation. If an inmate has a stellar record the review board will know of their push to be a better person. I might even be persuaded into letting inmates work off non-violent offenses if they keep their noses clean. If you are a first time offender and you stole a car you could potentially work in a prison job to pay the property owner restitution. I could even see wiping their record clean of said felony conviction if they are remorseful and eork to clean up theor act. I would be happy to reinstate their civil rights if they did not re-offend for a full year (voting rights, gun rights, military service ect...).

If I wasn't on top of his case and our family,he would likely be in the same situation. I understand that the d.a office as well as the p.d office is overwhelmed with cases, but what about the people who are awaiting trial or a plea deal simply because their family couldn't make bail? This is an issue that needs to be addressed!

[@bonniehowell4259]

My ex husband spent 2 months in solitary confinement for minor reasons years ago. When he was released, his mental status greatly declined and always talked about that experience and how it's negative effects. He just recently was incarcerated again. Due to the recent pandemic and showing symptoms of covid, he was sanctioned to be "quarantined" after showing signs of said illness. Based from past experiences and extreme PTSD, he lashed out in fear of sending him back to the "hole" and feaked out on the guards. He lashed out in fear of going back to that confinement. Not only did those actions grant him a new charge, it also gave him 4 months in solitary confinement again. While I do not excuse or advocate his intial charges, I'm clearly stating the psychological influences solitary confinement can bring. He would have never lashed out or given a new charge(s) if that inhumane torture didn't influence his psyche.

Respect to this secretary. Today it costs taxpayers $106,000 on average per inmate per year. At 3x, solitary could cost taxpayers as much as $300,000 per year. There are times when it is absolutely necessary, but not how we currently use it.

[@bonniehowell4259]

Jack Hibner exactly the whole point of prison is to reform the person back into society and this is not help at all

[@cbl6520]

Prison isn't meant to be rehabilitative, its meant to be punishment for breaking the law. If an inmate genuinely wants to change their ways, I have no problem with rehabilitative services for such an individual, as long as their crime is non-violent and they do not have a history of repeat offences. If it is a high profile murderer, rapist, or drug dealer, I would rather they rot in prison than ever taste freedom again.

[@evolutionarylevelabove3715]

That depends Jack. It depends on the individual situation. If you're talking about a person who is likely to be getting out of prison in the future, I agree with you since to go with deprivation only is going to make them worse for society once out. If it's a situation like in Canada where one gets 25 years & special status meaning they aren't ever getting out, there is no reason to just keep them locked in the tiny cell with a TV. A lot of people seem to think a TV in there is some sort of luxury or it's some lovely vacation but you know, they have no clue as to what they are talking about. If they put a cot in their bathrooms with a TV in there & stay a few weeks with not coming out, a person puts food in once a day no conversation, they then get the idea of what it really is. Month after month & year after year, all the TV might do is keep the inmate from losing ability to communicate if it should become necessary for whatever reason. The States is the worst though. A person goes in prison for a non violent crime & has high risk of being raped & almost a sure thing of being beaten so torture is very common. When they come out 7 years later, they are often not fit to be in society at that point.

[@GlamorousTitanic21]

Lukas Åhs thank you.

[@qs-ii1872]

rupinder kaur We are a first world country, we should’ve developed something that actually worked out instead of dealing with absolute failure. We play taxes to torture and release people who almost always come back for the same crimes that got them inside. Instead of actively using the system to function more independently and have inmates work to pay for their own food and actually spent the taxes on reforming those who can be helped. We also have the issue of a yearly 2,000 babies being born and removed from their mothers due to a mix of being already pregnant and prison guards impregnating prisoners. More often then not having them be handcuffed while delivering said child, only for them to be removed before the mother could even hold their child. We have issues of rape, murder, and prison gangs, all which could be avoided if we simply changed are focus to rehabilitating violent people into a much more suitable life. Most people break the law because they feel they have to. I’ve personally met people who couldn’t make enough money to survive on their own and actively went out of their way to get themselves imprisoned to secure a place to live. As well of people who think they have to steal because they have families who depend on them for survival. So yes, we failed on every level. It doesn’t mean we’re the worst, we just need to fix a lot more to actually get a positive outcome.

I lived in a studio, and I lived off a lot of canned food and bottled water (I would buy them in bulks in Costco, so I wouldn't have to go shopping for a long time). For weeks sometimes. I had internet (dsl), but there was no social media during that time, so no human contact. So no, it's not the lack of human contact that's the issue with the solitary confinement. It's the cramped space and inability to go out that's the issue. And that place being filthy is also an issue (no cleaning, stuffy air, etc).

Youre absolutely right. And until they realize the bigger problem is their own institution and employees, nothing will ever change. Recidivism rates would be MUCH lower if prisoners were treated with humanity. Norway is PROOF. They built a maximum security prison (where guards carry no weapons of any kind) with full on trades (inmates can learn a profession), music room (inmates can learn instruments, make music, record, etc.), art room, nice single "cells", private full bathroom INSIDE EACH cell, nice rooms (TV, big window), kitchenette (drinks, coffee, microwave) on each unit, washer/dryer per each unit, each inmate has a key to their own cell they can come & go from all day, inmates can be out of their cell anytime they want with the exception of night sleep hours, interactive staff that treat the inmates like people (communicating with them, playing games with them, going on outings & hikes with them). Their recidivism rate? 20%. The U.S. recidivism rate? 80%
