Solitary confinement is a special form of imprisonment in which a prisoner is isolated from any human contact, though often with the exception of members of prison staff. It is sometimes employed as a form of punishment beyond incarceration for a prisoner, and has been cited as an additional measure of protection from the criminal or is given for violations of prison regulations. 5, record 1, English, - solitary%20confinement

La peine de mort exceptée, l’isolement cellulaire constitue la sanction pénale la plus extrême à laquelle un détenu peut être condamnée. Ses effets néfastes sur la santé, et sur le bien-être en général des personnes soumises à ce type de sanction, surtout pour des périodes prolongées, peuvent être très graves. 6, record 1, French, - isolement%20cellulaire

Dans le milieu carcéral, on utilise autrefois les termes «icebox, icebox prison» pour désigner l'endroit où un prisonnier est gardé en isolement. Selon nous, le terme «cellule d'isolement» peut être utilisé comme équivalent pour traduire cette réalité. 2, record 2, French, - cellule%20d%27isolement
