Solitary confinement for birds can be extremely stressful and detrimental to their well-being. Birds are social creatures that thrive on interaction with others of their kind, so being isolated can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression. They may exhibit behaviors such as feather plucking, self-harm, or excessive vocalization as a result of the stress and boredom of being alone. In the wild, birds are constantly communicating and engaging with their flock members, so being isolated can be a stark departure from their natural behavior.

Supermax : Controlling Risk Through Solitary Confinement
This book examines the rise and proliferation of 'Supermaxes', large prisons dedicated to holding prisoners in prolonged and strict solitary confinement, in the United States since the late 1980s.Drawing on unique access to two Supermax prisons and on in-depth interviews with prison officials, prison architects, current and former prisoners, mental health professionals, penal, legal, and human rights experts, it provides a holistic view of the theory, practice and consequences of these prisons.Given the historic uses of solitary confinement, the book also traces continuities and discontinuities in its use on both sides of the Atlantic over the last two centuries.It argues that rather than being an entirely 'new' form of imprisonment, Supermax prisons draw on principles of architecture, surveillance and control which were set out in the early 19th century but which are now enhanced by the most advanced technologies available to current day prison planners and administrators.It asks why a form of confinement which had been discredited in the past is now proposed as the best solution for dealing with 'difficult', 'dangerous' or 'disruptive' prisoners, and assesses the true costs of Supermax confinement.

Carceral Citizens : Labor and Confinement in Puerto Rico
A nuanced take on how carceral expansions are changing labor and social life. In Carceral Citizens, anthropologist Caroline M.Parker offers an ethnographic portrait of therapeutic communities in Puerto Rico, the oldest colony in the Americas.As nonprofits nested within the carceral state, therapeutic communities serve as reeducation and recovery centers for the mostly male drug offenders who serve out their sentences engaged in manual labor and prayer.The most surprising aspect of these centers, however, is that their “graduates” often remain long after the completion of their term, working as self-appointed peer counselors in a mixture of volunteer and low-wage positions. Parker seeks to explain this dynamic by showing how, in these therapeutic communities, criminalized men find new and meaningful ways of living in the shadow of the prison.Through their participation in the day-to-day functioning of the centers, they discover and cultivate alternative forms of belonging, livelihood, and citizenship, despite living within the restrictions of the carceral state.Situating her study against the backdrop of Puerto Rico’s colonial history, and with findings that extend across Latin America, Parker challenges common assumptions about confinement, labor, and rehabilitation.By delving into lives shaped by the convergence of imperialism, the carceral state, and self-help, she offers a fresh understanding of the transformations of labor and social life brought about by mass incarceration.

Why can't one simply go into solitary confinement?
One cannot simply go into solitary confinement because it is a form of punishment typically imposed by prison authorities for disciplinary reasons. Solitary confinement involves isolating an individual in a small cell for 22-24 hours a day, with limited human interaction and minimal access to activities or resources. It can have severe psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, and even hallucinations, making it a harsh and potentially damaging experience. Therefore, it is not a choice or option that one can voluntarily enter into.
