Disciplinary segregation

1983
united states

Disciplinary segregation is a form of punishment in which a prisoner is isolated in a separate area within a prison for a specific period of time as a result of violating prison rules or regulations. This type of segregation is often used as a means of maintaining order and discipline within a prison, and can involve the prisoner being placed in a separate cell, restricted from participating in certain activities, and limited in their interactions with other inmates.
