For seven years, President Obama has angered conservatives with executive actions on guns, immigration and a host of other issues. But on Monday Obama signed an executive order conservatives and all people of goodwill should get behind.
The president announced in an op-ed in the Washington Post that he will ban solitary confinement for minors in federal prisons. The order is part of a broader initiative to improve conditions for 10,000 inmates in solitary confinement across the country. The order will also end the use of solitary for low-level offenders and offer more mental health treatment for those who are placed in isolation.
