Human beings require interaction with other humans in order to avoid monotony. It is said that human beings are social and require other people to be around them. During solitary confinement, there will be no other prisoners or people around so this will decrease the health of these prisoners.
Contact with family or visitors is often restricted or denied to these prisoners. Family or visitor contact is one of the most important factors in successful rehabilitation. Medical research has shown that the denial of meaningful human contact can cause ‘isolation syndrome’.
