Effects of solitary confinement on mental and physical health
AUG 6, 2020
Research indicates that both living alone and feelings of loneliness are strongly associated with suicide attempts and suicidal ideation. Additionally, many individuals who experience confinement
become incapable of living around other people.
A lack of physical activity may also make it difficult to manage or prevent certain health conditions, such as
diabetes, high
blood pressure, and
heart disease.
A prolonged lack of sunlight
can cause a
vitamin D deficiency, which can put older adults at risk of
fractures and falls.
Some research indicates that solitary confinement:
- is not cost effective
- does not achieve its intended outcomes
- may exacerbate the issues that it intends to solve
People who experience solitary confinement are more likely to develop anxiety, depression,
suicidal thoughts, and psychosis. The practice also affects physical health, increasing a person’s risk for a range of conditions, including fractures, vision loss, and chronic pain.
