Mr. DJL2 Have you ever been to prison and spent time in solitary, If not then what gives you the right to say they should keep it. I agree that prison is supposed to be tough, but as I recall, are we not persecuting the Nazis for the concentration camps during the second world war? There is no difference between the two. Although i was never in a concentration camp, I have been in solitary and yes it does effect you mentally. After about the first week, you start to hear things, and see things, that are not really there. After the first month, If you haven't gone crazy in some form then you are already crazy. Basic human interaction is needed by all yo keep within the realm of sanity. So, If you have never been in solitary, I suggest that you keep your comments to yourself because you have no idea what you are talking about.
