After having this discussion over and over, I finally decided I am going to share my thoughts in a podcast about the use of restrictive housing. I have worked and seen the good, bad, and ugly. At the end of the day though, restrictive housing is necessary! I agree that many of our inmates need programming that prepares them for the outside world. I also agree that many of our inmates are criminal thugs who will not be changed with classes, bribes, or personal freedom. Two different groups of inmates. The problem is - these are two different conversations. Two different groups of social needs. Not all Inmates are Created Equal!
