If Kennedy is looking for a solitary-confinement case, an inmate has one [WashingtonPost.com]

What a Supreme Court justice calls for, someone is usually only too happy to provide.

The court’s most influential member, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, opined in June that it might be time for the court to take a look at the widespread use of solitary confinement in the nation’s prisons and the “human toll wrought by extended terms of isolation.”

I believe the following quote is from George Bernard Shaw:

"To Punish a man, you must injure him;

To Reform a man, you must improve him;

And Men are not improved by injuries."

If I am mistaken about the quote's source, I'll be grateful for "Constructive Correction". Thank You!

P.S.- I am also grateful for Justice Kennedy's interest in this matter.
