But here is an example of how solitary confinement is abused and used as a tool to bully inmates. Here is a guy we will call Stan who has been in prison for the better part of 19 years.

Being creative is now a crime in the Utah State Prison System. The prison’s New Years resolution for 2015 is to take away the inmates creative ingenuity and a way to make some money for their families. The guards were ordered in January to go into all the inmate's cells and take away any and all hobby crafts except for ones that can be purchased through the prison commissary and it is rumored that crochet and art supplies will be limited. What's next, books on self improvement? Inma...

All of my behaviors and former belief systems were predicated on the premise that disloyalty was tantamount to failure and destruction. I had prided myself on being loyal, and demanded it of those whom I associated with. That was to be my downfall. ‘ In 1996, I committed a crime with someone with whom I believed I could trust. I was mistaken, and my whole loyalty belief system was shaken. As luck or misfortune, ...
