Answer preview
According to Lobel (2020), the establishment of solitary confinement was intended to incarcerate mentally ill prisoners since prisons did not have resources and other means than placing them in into solitary. However, today, solitary units mix people with mental illness, non-violent prisoners who break the laws, the vulnerable, and even innocent inmates. In addition to the high economic costs of solitary confinement, it is even more costly in social terms. Lobel (2020) indicates that long-term confinement is associated with serious psychological effects. People who are confined for a long time end up developing mental health issues even if they entered the isolation unit without any mental illness symptoms. Prisoners released directly from confinement create a community health problem, which indicates that the problem caused by confinement goes beyond the prison conditions (Lobel, 2020). Despite the government knowing the risk caused by solitary confinement and little evidence to support their role in rehabilitating prisoners, nothing is being to prevent people from placed in isolation units.
