No doubt... and I think one of their main points was that some prisoners going into isolation are already mentally disturbed, and this magnifies the issue. They also tend to get fully released into society with no treatment, no understanding of the rules, and tend to 're-offend' and go straight back to prison.

So... basically you agree then, that if a mentally ill person commits a crime they should receive the same punishment (assuming hanging/shooting was normal) that a mentally fit person would committing the same crime. Seems a bit wierd.
