ezs note:  Oh, loverly.  It seems that Donald Trump and Barack Obama have bloody hands on this one.  (Though to his credit, Obama did ban the use of solitary confinement for juveniles)  But it's not damned enough.  I think that there so many abuses, it's time to abolish solitary confinement altogether. Please, if you agree with me on this, send an e-letter to your Congressperson and both of your Senators.  (Remember, on the federal level, you have two.)
