Answer:

How many americans are in solitary confinement on any given day:

  • Nearly 80,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

In solitary confinement or isolation, prisoners are separated from the general population, kept in their cells for 22 to 24 hours a day, for at least 15 consecutive days. This is used to punish, prevent and sometimes for the prisoners' own protection.
