The most important thing that a incarcerated person has is communication with their family. YOU are running your SHU (Special Housing Unit) very wrong. Even if locked up......they should still at least be able to use the phone, and visitation for that matter. The mental health of an inmate is important not only for the inmate, but, for the staff as well. I am retired from the DOJ. We treated our inmates at all three facilities the same. Trust me........locking someone up in solitary confinement and mailing all their belongings home and the family not having any idea what's going on......is not only inhumane.................IT JUST AINT RIGHT PERIOD.
