What is solitary confinement? why are prisoners subjected to solitary confinement and what effects does it have on them?

Solitary confinement holds an individual prisoner in a cell alone, with no contact with other inmates.  Prisoners are subjected to solitary confinement if they are considered to be a dangerous threat to others in the general prison population, especially as an added level of punishment if they have acted violently while in prison.  

Solitary confinement takes a toll on a prisoner's mental health.   Dealing appropriately with mental illness continues to be a problem in prisons in the United States.  A 2010 article in The Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law described how solitary confinement poses a challenge for medical ethics.  The authors summarize:  "In recent years, prison officials have increasingly turned to solitary confinement as a way to manage difficult or dangerous prisoners. Many of the prisoners subjected to isolation, which can extend for years, have serious mental illness, and the conditions of solitary confinement can exacerbate their symptoms or provoke recurrence."

every society, in order to meet the needs of it's people, has to answer three basic questions:

- what should we produce?

- how should we produce it?

- for whom should we produce it?

this questions must be answered in order to, option b, aid in production decisions.

every country can't produce everything, no matter how rich their land is. it may be a matter of technology, resources or geographical conditions. so, these three questions must be resolved in order to get the most of the production of each land.

hope this !

states grant a variety of local governments power to meet residents’ needs (source: apex learning). hope this !
