Solitary confinement for a length of time is barbaric and inhumane.
Prisons need to be properly funded so that staff and, yes, other prisoners who are uneventfully doing their time as they should, are safe. If that means hiring more guards, hire them. If it means building more prisons, build them. States always have money for everything else. Here in NY, even violent felons are being released (with some dire consequences), yet Cuomo is closing prisons, pushing (again) for taxpayer-funded college education for inmates...and opening more sex trailers for them.
Tossing human beings in a can with no human contact for long periods of time is what's inhumane--not the chain gang or the loaf.

I find the prison industry is disturbing, along with our court system. In some cases prisons are supposed to be rehabilitation, how can a person be rehabilitated in solitary confinement, or getting beat up. In many cases prisoners learn more techniques of crime AND some when released desire to get arrested, again, so they can become incarcerated again.
To me, our court system is like the fox guarding the hen house. It appears to be the only booming business in this lackluster economy.
If I was in prison I would want to be in solitary. Why would I want a roommate or be mixed in with everyone else. Give them a computer to pass the time with a list of people they are allowed to email. Block certain sites.
Yeah and when you do the time, you only learn more techniques of crime and some learn to LIKE being institutionalized;so it's not rehabilitation, it's perpetuating the prison industry.
Rehabilitation? For people who are worthless? Save the money for those who are worth reinforcing. Change comes from within. Never reinforce failure is an axiom of life.
Have you been arrested? I never have. F'em all.
