Laws exists to determine what is right and what is wrong. When an action deemed “wrong” by the law is committed, a punishment is put in place to the parties concerned. However, there were many instances when the law has been questioned for it’s decisions. The case study of the Prison Bay SHU showcased how inmates were imprisoned in inhumane conditions of solitary confinement. This brings the question: can punishments transgress the law? To answer this question, there is a need for understanding what is moral. Kantian ethics is an ethical view that can be applied into the law.
