"Anyone who thinks solitary confinement isn't cruel and unusual is either a masochist or has never experienced it firsthand. Even for just a few hours, it's intolerable, *especially* when you're mad. And if you're not crazy to begin with, it's a great way to get there. Studies have shown that solitary confinement can and does induce insanity in some cases. Besides the depression, anxiety and rage that you'd expect with prolonged seclusion, there's also the potential for hallucinations, impulse control problems, as well as impaired memory, concentration and cognitive functioning, even in individuals with no prior diagnosis or history of mental illness.

So, why in the hell would anyone even consider using it as a treatment for insanity? The way I see it, it's not just counterproductive, it's moronic - dare I say, *insane*. Why not use laxatives to treat diarrhea or garlic to treat halitosis? I've heard arguments claiming that people don't remember most of what they experience when they're psychotic, and thus putting them in isolation isn't so bad. They'll forget it soon enough.

I didn't.
I still have nightmares about it, and I still dread the very real possibility of finding myself in isolation once again, with guards and nurses who refuse to look at me or answer my questions, for fear of catching whatever I have. I've never been the object of more vicious indifference in my life, and I've never felt more invisible and worthless."
