Recent reports have raised concerns over the use of solitary confinement in detention facilities, highlighting the case of Charles Leo Daniel, who died after being held in solitary confinement for more than three years at the Northwest Detention Center in Washington. The University of Washington's Center for Human Rights provided an analysis of federal data, revealing that Daniel had been in solitary confinement for more than three years. This case has sparked a response from detained immigrants and their allies, who have initiated a hunger strike in Washington State to protest the conditions. Additionally, in Queensland, Australia, the deaths of two First Nations boys in youth detention have also raised alarms about the practice of solitary confinement.
