Today, more than 80,000 Americans are
in solitary confinement. Explorer looks at the science of solitary and
discovers what it means to be absolutely alone. We go inside Colorado
State Penitentiary (CSP) and witness prisoners on the edge and the
guards who watch over them. Then, we look at experiments on whether
isolation dramatically alters behavior and ongoing new research on how
solitary actually could cause long-term mental problems like paranoia,
disorientation and delirium. (50 minutes) |
