“If you can’t process instructions, sometimes you are physically forced to comply.” People in jail experience mental disabilities at a high rate and most go without reporting them. This makes people vulnerable in prison. Inmates with mental disabilities are subject to mistreatment by other inmates and even jail staff. Solitary confinement is being used on over 4,000 people in jail, which itself has been found to create serious concerns over mental health. The United Nationals and human rights groups have found solitary confinement to be torture.
