Discussion: ACLU: Army Investigating Chelsea Manning After Suicide Attempt

Not in favor of solitary confinement in our penal system.

I never understood the idea of punishing someone for a suicide attempt. Seems to me a clear case of someone needing help, not punishment.

Putting someone in solitary confinement is cruel, as research indicates, in any case, but especially wrt a suicide attempt. Smacks of bullying tactics.
