Introduction Disciplinary practices have always been at the foundation of the U.S. correctional system (Arrigo & Bullock, 2008; Bennion, 2015; Cockrell, 2013). Inquiring the various ways of punishing and correcting inmates’ behavior has offered a prolific terrain to study prisons’ social and physical environments. In this view, several scholars emphasized the widely used practice of solitary confinement as a social phenomenon that warrants particular attention (Bennion, 2015; Arrigo, & Bullock, 2008; Steinbuch, 2014).

The circumstances differ by race and social experiences, and the inmates taken from the focus …show more content…

Schlanger examines preliminary data that suggest that in many states the harsh conditions of solitary confinement are probably disproportionately affecting prisoners of color. In short, it seems high to follow a more systematically task of the race question in prisons. American jails and prisons are themselves vastly racially skewed in their populations. Therefore, this article discusses four of the eight columns (Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, and New York), non-white prisoners are substantially overrepresented in the highlighted facilities; statistical testing confirms that the difference is statistically significant.
