There are basically three types of prisoners:

Those who want to use their time productively to improve themselves

Those who want to get by and get out

And those who want to f^&% the world and make everyone else as miserable as they are.


The last group often have anger issues and are quick to use their fists in response to an argument. When you're living with the same group of people day after day with little refuge there will be arguments.

Living with people who will hurt you with little provocation doesn't help with rehabilitation.

So I'm for solitary confinement for those who cause violence while behind bars.
