Solitary confinement 2011, para. 56
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- According to the European Court of Human Rights, States should also take steps to reduce the negative impact of solitary confinement. Where the damaging effects of solitary confinement on a particular individual are known, the regime cannot continue. The conditions of confinement are relevant in this respect, because where conditions are beyond reproach, the Court considers it unlikely that the minimum threshold of severity to find a violation of article 3 will be reached. Routine examination by doctors can be a factor in determining that there was no violation of article 3.
