What Does Solitary Confinement Do To Your Mind? (AP Photo/Virginian-Pilot, Chris Tyree) When corrections officials talk about solitary confinement, they describe it as the prison within the prison, and for good reason. For 23 hours a day, inmates are kept inside a cell that is approximately 80 square feet, smaller than a typical horse stable. Cells are furnished with a bed, sink and toilet, but rarely much else. Food is delivered through a slot in the door, and each day inmates are allowed just one hour of exercise, in a cage. For most of the 20th century, a typical stay in solitary amounted to just a few days, or several weeks in more extreme cases. Today, it’s not unusual for inmates to spend years at a time in solitary. Supporters say the practice helps keep prisons safe, but according to the medical literature, solitary confinement can also take a heavy mental toll.

Solitary confinement (November 2011) Solitary confinement is a form of imprisonment in which an inmate is isolated from any human contact, often with the exception of members of prison staff, for 22–24 hours a day, with a sentence ranging from days to decades.

Can't We Do Better on Suicide Prevention in Prison? Students want to see the reality of incarceration—not just what’s on TV—so they often ask to see the grim, grey isolation area. Usually this area—which prisoners call “The Hole” but is formally called “Segregation” or “Seg”—is off-limits to visitors. It’s where prisoners are separated from the general population and held in a small, barren cell with a cot and a toilet, 23 out of 24 hours, with one hour of recreation a day. Seg units have become controversial as solitary confinement is starting to get a hard look.
