Did anyone see a prog on either Discovery/Crime&Punishment about certain American jails set-up for solitary confinement? Guys who had been in for over 8 years in solitary - they had a good behaviour system which essentially meant after 3 years you would be allowed a TV. Otherwise it was 23 hours in the cell, eating alone, 15 or so minutes exercise in a courtyard alone.
The show showed an 1800s prison too where most of the inmates in solitary had gone completely insane. No wonder, but the American jails are still doing it.
