Has there been an attempt to classify solitary confinement as cruel and unusual punishment?
There are several human rights organizations that would like it to be. However, I am not aware of any current Federal cases. Here's are lists of related US Supreme Court cases and Federal District Court cases that relate to SC. Interesting International Agreements: http://solitarywatch.com/resources/legal-documents/
