Why is solitary confinement used in today's world? Does it help the
rehabilitation of offenders? And how is policy affected by
justification for the use of it? This book is the first to consider
the history of solitary confinement and how it is experienced by
the individuals undergoing it. Using Merleau-Ponty's concept of
embodied subjectivity, it provides first-hand accounts of the
inhumane experience of solitary confinement to provide a better
appreciation of the relationship between penal strategy and its
effect on human beings. Drawing on his own experiences as a
Psychological Specialist in the Pennsylvania Department of
Corrections and on those interviewed as part of the Guardian 6x9
project
(http://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2016/apr/27/6x9-a-virtual-experience-of-solitary-confinement),
the author focuses on the phenomenology of solitary confinement to
consider what the intentional aspect of this almost uninhabitable
type of confinement says about a democratic society that continues
to justify its use as a correctional strategy. Aiming to influence
policy, the book fills the gap between the practice of solitary
confinement and its implications, as well as the social attitudes
that uncritically condone its use.
