@chrisesp19 If you are referring to Ashley Smith as being effective punishment, how is what she went through effective. If it was effective she would have stayed for only a month in jail and not more than 3 years. And if your not, then how is being isolated perfect punishment?
@NFHSLaw Going through rehabilitation with people in the same situation will aid in the process. I agree that prison staff should be the main components to this process, but mental health programs with other prisoners, not isolation, would be the most moral and effective method. #hld2018
@chrisesp19 #hld2018 If we consider Ashley Smith and what she went through as an example of segregating inmates "working in the past", this should be a sign that it can hardly be considered valid at all
@chrisesp19 #hld2018 Should they be lucky they have to stay in the same room for a long time? With Ashley Smith, she was sent to isolation because she was too scared to strip search when she was 13-14. Do you call that a disturbance?
@chrisesp19 A toddler is put on timeout to teach them lesson; is solitary confinement supposed to teach inmates that acting out of line will get their human rights taken away?
#hld2018 In the case of Ashley Smith, solitary confinement should not be allowed for youths (age 18 and under) because it can heavily impact their mental health more so than adults.
@NFHSLaw@yourHJEN Then why are some people in there for either way longer than necessary. Also, Ashley Smith first went into segregation because she was too scared to strip search which is not reasonable.
Administrative segregation is not only just about the prisoner. Segregating prisoners costs taxpayers up to 10 times amount for other inmates. #hld2018
