Solitary is not ‘being alone.’ Solitary is being trapped in a tiny room for 23 hours a day with no stimulation, the lights never turn off, and you may not even be given a bed or a blanket. Solitary is torture. People need to know that.
they can’t isolate every prisoner at the same time, and by engaging in a sit down strike, they can’t fill those spots with people afraid to fight back.
That reminds me of the words of Jews during the lead up to WWII. No one wanted to be the first to die, so they all died. It’s easy to say to sit down and protest when you’re free.
Counterpoint: solitary confinement sucks
Counter counter point. I love being alone.
I’m not trying to cover the point you’re actually making though.

I know what solitary is. People are torture.
Well then enjoy them yelling at you through the air ducts because they’re desperate for human contact.
They can yell all they want after I’m dead.

You won’t after 48 hours with nothing to do and no one to talk to for 48 hours.
Try me.
Ok, go lock yourself in an empty closet for 48 hours with a bright light on the entire time and report back to us on how it goes!

True they can’t throw everyone into solitary, but they can enact a lockdown which comes with its own particular cruelties and inequities
So they’re just going to lockdown everyone forever?
Doesn’t seem like a viable strategy to me.
its a prison. if they can’t do slave labor for a profit there’s no reason not to lock them down forever.
