Solitary Confinement. California prisoners protested to eliminate solitary confinement. This, for a human, is the worst punishment of all. As in a family where purposeful isolation is employed, The punishment results in anger and rebellion. Humans should not be ignored nor isolated. It results in nothing good. Try to compromise, understand, and talk things out. So many family rifts would be lessened to nothing. An international example is the Palestinians Being robbed of their lands and originally isolated in prison camps-- Now, isolated in an open air prison with limited rights, Along with warring persecution, all in the name of religious history. Equal treatment would have lessened the problem to nothing. Frank Maurer 14 September 2025 1840 Hours.
