isolation rooms
Solitary confinement spaces
Isolation rooms are enclosed spaces designed to separate individuals from others, typically for medical or safety reasons.
In hospitals, isolation rooms prevent the spread of infectious diseases, using controlled airflow and restricted access: The patient with tuberculosis was moved to an isolation room.
In psychiatric facilities or schools, they may be used to contain individuals during behavioral crises—a practice that has drawn criticism when applied to children.
