Solitary Confinement

Robert Rogers

Middle Tennessee State University, Criminal Justice Administration, P.O. Box 238, Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37132, U.S.A

If short-term solitary confinement were reintroduced on a large scale, it is suggested that the possible victimization and corruption of inexperienced inmates by career criminals might be partially eliminated. Moreover, it has the possibility of saving taxpayers' money. Currently staff salaries account for about three-fourths of all prison expenditures. A solitary confinement system would initially have construction costs. This would be a one-time expense with the potential of offsetting the initial cost. Technological advances in recent years provide an avenue for inmates to upgrade their skills by receiving televised and computer-assisted instruction in their cells.
