Yes, because it is for the safety of the citizens and the best option. Really, commuting crime has nothing to do with quarantine.

Answer:

Depends on the situation. Typically, no.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlawful detainment is absolutely a no-no. If someone is innocent, they should not be detained against their will, and especially not quarantined.

Situations where it's moral:

Patient with highly contagious illness should be quarentined to avoid spreading it to others.

Mentally ill patient who is a threat to the safety of others should be quarentined to avoid injury of others.
