I’d like you to learn some more and think about the issues that come with SuperMax or solitary/isolation confinement. Spend some time falling down the rabbit hole of the internet, read about supermax. See what you can find on YouTube. Read the Current Controversy 11.1 in your book, and also the link on the textbook companion site that relates to the current controversy. Read this essay: https://solitarywatch.org/2013/03/11/voices-from-solitary-a-sentence-worse-than-death/ (Links to an external site.) and check out some of the other things on that page.
And then, for your original post, very free form – give us couple paragraphs…a double-spaced page-ish…with your thoughts. What did you learn about? Did you know anything about SuperMax before? How might you answer the questions that are in the Current Controversy box? What are the pros and/or cons of SuperMax or solitary? What did you find interesting? What did you find troubling? What questions were you left with? Again…all of this is an open sandbox. I don’t mean for you to answer all of those things specifically…this is really ‘SuperMax…go!’
