    You really think the general populace is safe for a 10-year old?

    Solitary confinement sucks, but in many cases it’s done to protect individuals from, you know, the other extremely violent people.

      How about not putting them in prison at all?

        Then why the fixation on solitary confinement?

        If your objection is on imprisonment then argue against that, not the specifics of a certain imprisonment.

          Because the kid was put in solitary confinement and I was staying on-topic?

            You realise it is morally permissible to provide a more general argument.

            Which is a better comment, “steak tastes better with barbecue sauce” OR “I don’t like steak, but it tastes better with barbecue sauce”? Doesn’t the former suggest a preference of eating steak?

              I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, but if you don’t want to stay on topic, find someone else to talk to.

                  You mean the conversation where I already told you I was staying on topic? I’m pretty sure I can keep track of it quite well. And, again, if you don’t want to stay on the topic about the poor boy who was put in solitary, find someone else to talk to about whatever it is you would like to talk about instead.
