It's part of the tools we have when the staff and other offenders are being threatened. Sometimes we don't have any choice; we have to use segregation. But again, you need to monitor segregation. You need to make sure the person won't be left alone and you need to understand why exactly he behaved like that and to address that within the correctional plan. But segregation, unfortunately.... It's like the institution: we may say we don't like penitentiaries, but human nature is such that sometimes we need to put people aside. It's the same within an institution.
