To the Editor: As a pediatrician, I am deeply concerned by the continued use of solitary confinement by correction officials. Recent studies find that the use of solitary confinement remains common in juvenile detention facilities, with 47 percent of centers reporting locking a youth in a room for four hours or more within the past month. More than half of the children and teenagers held in solitary confinement are held for more than 24 hours. The 2009 report “Juvenile Suicide in Confinement: A National Survey” examined 110 juvenile suicides between 1995 and 1999. It found that 62 percent of those who died by suicide had a history of room confinement, and 51 percent were on room confinement status at the time of their death.
