Didn't The Covid-19 Lock Down Make The Argument Against Solitary Confinement? By Wiliam Thorpe

We almost had a civil war over the Covid-19 National Lock Down. Republicans who have never cared about the misery regular people endure on a daily basis in the Commonwealth of Virginia, were all of a sudden concerned about our welfare and rabidly against the Lock Down and its debilitating physical and psychological effects on the Virginia Tax Payer. Well everything that made the Lock Down wrong is what is every day existence for prisoners in solitary confinement. In other words the evils of the Lock Down that almost precipitated a 2d civil war is what Virginia prison officials maintain as "civilized" practice in the name of Virginians. If the Covid-19 Lock Down was harmful, [and Courts of all levels of American jurisprudence have tripped over each other's robes pronouncing such], then maintaining its existence in prison is not a simple violation of opportunistic law but a contradiction of that, "inalienability" of humanness which the presumptuousness of Virginia's criminal justice claims in defense of the social contract. There is nothing to debate, if it was anti-human to subject the Nation to conditions of The Covid-19 Lock Down then it is equally anti-human to subject prisoners to it under guise of solitary confinement.
