23% of inmates <u>with a mental illness</u> were being kept in solitary confinement.

Dealing appropriately with mental illness continues to be a problem in prisons in the United States.  A 2010 article in <em>The Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law </em>described how solitary confinement poses a challenge for medical ethics.  The authors summarize:  "In recent years, prison officials have increasingly turned to solitary confinement as a way to manage difficult or dangerous prisoners. Many of the prisoners subjected to isolation, which can extend for years, have serious mental illness, and the conditions of solitary confinement can exacerbate their symptoms or provoke recurrence."

Prison life in general can cause or worsen mental illness problems.  For instance, studies have indicated that about one-fourth or even as many as one-third of prison and jail inmates show symptoms for major depressive disorder.  The rates are highest among women.  One study found that incarcerated women were 50% more likely to suffer from depression as women in the outside world.  Prison life takes a toll on mental health, and solitary confinement especially does so.

4. Which "certain unalienable Rights" does the declaration's main author, Thomas Jefferson, say the Government is instituted to
antiseptic1488 [7]

Thomas Jefferson was 33 years old when he was tasked to write the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress in 1776, rendering entire generations of Americans slackers by comparison ever since. Jefferson at 33 boldly captured the will of a people frustrated with their absentee king and declared the equality of all men to be a truth powerful enough to abolish an unjust system of government; the rest of us are mostly trying to figure out how to set up our ETrade accounts.

1. How did General Douglas MacArthur react to the events in Korea? What was his stance on the Korean War?. 2. How did President
Llana [10]

1. General MacArthur had a successful surprise attack launched on the North Korean army at Inchon, which was west of the Korean Peninsula. When he met with Truman face to face at Wake Island, he publicly accused the president of "appeasement" regarding China. Instead of following Truman's orders, MacArthur did things his way. He thought that the Chinese would not join in the war, so he assured Truman that the Chinese army would not take part in the war when the UN forces reach the Yalu River, the border between China and North Korea. MacArthur was so confident in his success that he promised American troops would be home for Christmas.

2. President Truman assigned General MacArthur as leader of the UN troops. Truman's overall objective was to create harmony between North and South Korea as soon as possible. He was concerned of the Chinese army joining in the war in favor of North Korea, but MacArthur assured him that the Chinese would not interfere when they reach the Yalu River; however, he was wrong. Because MacArthur disobeyed the orders, Truman relieved MacArthur of his position.

3 and 4 are based on your own opinions, so I cannot answer that part. Otherwise, hope this helps a little though it is not much.
