Solitary Confinement

I feel very differential about the topic of Solitary Confinement. Although it does do some good, sometimes it can cause more harm. I would still like to keep solitary confinement in the prison systems, but it would be more regulated.
I would draft a law regulating the use of solitary confinement. In my law, there would be a 6 week maximum time limit, that way no one would be in solitary confinement for a super long time because if they are in there for a really long time then they might go crazy and become phsychaotic. Also, when they are in solitary confinment, they should have at least an hour outside in the sun, not in the halls. They should also be able to interact with other prisoners for an hour os so too. Also, the rooms should be bigger and have at leat one window and maybe some fun things so that the prisoners have something to look at. And if you let them paint their cell then it will make the room look brighter and will make them hapier and not as mean and crazy.
I would restrict the prison officials discretion because they seem like they would lie a lot and really don't care about the prisoners in solitary confinements welfare or well being. The prison officials seem like they would just want the inmates to be out of their way so that they can just sit ther and watch the inmates. I would give a 6 week maximum time limit in solitary confinement because i had a hard time being quiet for a minute, so it must be horrible to be in a room by yourself for a really long tiime. Plus, it would make the inmates more happier.
I would probably not allow prisoners to go to court and challenge their solitary confinment because it is only 6 weeks or less, so they should just act good. I would let them challenge this if it seemed unjust or if they are not menatlly ready to handle isolation. If they were not menatally or emotionally ready to handle solitary coonfinement then i wouldn't let them do it because they can go crazy and i wouldn't want that because i would feel bad. Or if the prison officials were mean (but i would make sure that all the prison officials would be nice to the inmates). But my solitary confinement would only be 6 weeks at the most, along with inmate interaction time, outside in the sun time, a bigger room, and then they could customize and paint their room. So soiltary confinement wouldn't be so bad.

GANGS! :)

Yeah, i do believe that gangs will always exist. Gangs are powerful, and a lot of people, especially younger kids and teenagers. Gangs are in almost every state, so there are tons of them right now, so they will probvably always be there. Also, sets are formed, and there are a lot of those too. Gangs are a source of power, money, safety, love, belonging, discipline and other things. This is appealing to young adults because they want to have an identity and feel that they belong there.
I dont know if anything will work. The witness protection program seems promising because the people move away ang get a new identity, but it doesn't last forever and you cant talk to your family, so that sucks. Since gangs are not afraid of the police, that won't work very well either. I personally will just try to saty away from gangs and their members, but if i am approached i will either run, or just tell them that i am anti-gang. Or i would just talk to them until they realized that i'm a nice person! :) Overall, gangs will probably always be here! Theres way too many of them for them not to exist!
