Solitary confinement, also known as segregation or isolation, refers to the practice of confining an individual to a cell or room alone for a prolonged period of time. Other synonyms for solitary confinement include confinement, seclusion, separation, detention, quarantine, and lockdown. These terms refer to situations where an individual is separated from others, whether for the purpose of punishment, protection, or medical reasons.
