Whilst I agree that there is an overuse of solitary confinement and deprivation techniques in the prison system, I can't help wondering what the behavior is that the officials are trying to modify. Surely trying to reduce a prisoner's dependence on drugs or violence for example, is a positive form of behavior modification which could even be termed "rehabilitation"?
