If we fear for the offender's life or for their well-being in our penitentiaries, sometimes I would imagine Corrections or the correctional officers or whoever would see that they get segregation. The one who might become the victim of other inmates would then be segregated in solitary confinement.
On one hand, it may be done for their good, for their protection, but on the other hand, they might be saying this is torture. So again, we come to the definition of what's happening here.
