"Solitary confinement leads to psychosis..."

And they're not already???? :^)

No, I don't mean sociopathologic (which criminals undoubtedly are). I mean unmanageable, over-the-edge psychosis that is a danger (and annoyance) to everybody around them.

Prisoners kept in the Panopticon went screaming mad through lack of contact with anything.

That is neither typical nor acceptable in a prison. The staff has to be able to manage the population.
