I don't give shit if she violated the rules of the prison; solitary confinement is torture. That was the point. But, in your world, I suppose it's okeydokeyfine to torture someone just so long as they broke the law, correct?

Solitary confinement is not torture, and anyone who thinks it is has no clue what they're talking about. Period.

There is nothing subjective about this. Solitary confinement is not torture. That is fact.
There have been numerous challenges over the years, and while various courts- including the Supreme Court, have found individual cases where specific jails/prisons have acted inappropriately, Solitary Confinement as a practice, has never been found to be unconstitutional. That is fact.

Solitary confinement is psychological torture. Cutting off stimuli and interactions in humans causes extreme anxiety and depression (along with other things) and that alone qualifies it as psychological torture.

I've been in solitary confinement. You are ignorant. Congratulations.
Congrats, I'm certain you deserved it. Still doesn't make it torture.
