A signature feature of the get-tough era in American corrections has been the proliferation of restrictive housing (RH). Although sometimes equated with solitary confinement, this housing encompasses a variety of distinct forms of incarceration. They are unified by an emphasis on restricted movement and privileges—yet vary in their design and uses. Despite that fact, little is known about the prevalence of different forms of housing. To address this research gap, we use a case study of Florida policy and administrative records data to illuminate the variety of RH types and the varying prevalence of each. We then discuss the implications of the findings for the study of RH uses and impacts and for policy.

我们对限制性住房的普遍性真正了解多少？照亮最极端监禁形式的“黑暗人物”

美国矫正时期艰难时期的一个标志性特征是限制性住房（RH）的扩散。虽然有时等同于单独监禁，但这种住房包含各种不同形式的监禁。它们通过强调限制行动和特权而统一——但它们的设计和用途各不相同。尽管如此，人们对不同形式的住房的普遍性知之甚少。为了解决这一研究空白，我们使用佛罗里达州政策和行政记录数据的案例研究来阐明 RH 类型的多样性以及每种类型的不同流行程度。然后，我们讨论了研究结果对 RH 使用和影响研究以及政策的影响。
