Punitive segregation is often used as a disciplinary measure for serious infractions or for individuals deemed a threat to themselves or others. However, there is significant controversy surrounding the use of punitive segregation, as it can have detrimental effects on mental health and overall well-being. | Punitive segregation refers to the practice of isolating inmates or prisoners as a form of punishment.
