One reason for the continued use of solitary confinement in prisons is traced to research showing that exposure to short-term solitary confinement serves to provide a safer environment and effectively deter misbehavior.
True or false
Answer is false. ( Study actually found that exposure to short-term solitary confinement, following an initial act of prison violence, did not tend to impact the likelihood of future violence and/or misbehavior among male inmates from a large state’s general inmate population. From a policy standpoint, these findings call into question the utility of punitive segregation policies that might allow for arbitrary discretion in subjecting inmates to solitary in terms of the frequency and/or duration of exposure, though validation is needed. Equally, these findings question policies founded on the idea that exposure to short-term solitary confinement deters future violence and/or mal-adaptive behavior as well as those surmising that exposure to solitary confinement exacerbates mal-adaptive behavior in the short term. )
