I would suggest two things to you.
One, a mechanism like this and an independent international body that might visit could make an assessment that might assist the government in this not being seen as torturing. That would be one point.
Secondly, in my experience the people who work in corrections—senior managers, front-line correctional officers—are all in general agreement that those situations are not beneficial. In fact, they would like some additional mechanisms to help push for alternatives. I would suggest that there would be fairly good support for looking for those sorts of alternatives.
Those are the sorts of discussions I have all the time. In the last few days I was in three of the women's prisons dealing with exactly those issues.
