Abstract

An estimated 84,000 incarcerated individuals face solitary confinement in the United States criminal justice system. Solitary confinement is seen as a cruel punishment, with lasting effects, for incarcerated individuals. Human rights organisations, medical associations, policymakers, and incarcerated people have argued for the discontinuation of solitary confinement. After being in solitary confinement for an extended period, incarcerated people can suffer worsening and future mental health issues, physical health concerns and issues with relationships during and after serving their time in prison. This article reviews the available research and the purpose of the article is to show the detrimental effects solitary confinement has on incarcerated individuals. Clinical and policy implications for prisons that use solitary confinement are discussed to dissuade usage.

监狱里的生活:美国单独监禁的影响
据估计,在美国刑事司法系统中,有84,000名被监禁者面临单独监禁。单独监禁被视为一种残忍的惩罚,对被监禁的人有持久的影响。人权组织、医疗协会、政策制定者和被监禁的人都主张停止单独监禁。在长期单独监禁之后,被监禁的人在服刑期间和服刑后可能会出现日益恶化的精神健康问题、身体健康问题以及人际关系问题。这篇文章回顾了现有的研究,文章的目的是显示单独监禁对被监禁的人的有害影响。对使用单独监禁的监狱的临床和政策影响进行了讨论,以劝阻使用。
