From the article on CNN.com: "Supreme Court won't hear solitary confinement case, but issue isn't going away"

"Terry Kupers, a professor at the Wright Institute, says that Raemisch isn't alone. "Many state department of corrections are looking at the immense damage long-term solitary causes in the prisoners, and the expense of maintaining supermax units, and they are turning away from solitary as a management strategy," he said. Kupers says that focus is turning to an effort to look for intensive and safe treatment and rehabilitation interventions to help disruptive prisoners learn the social skills they need to function in general population and then "succeed at going straight in the community.""
