Isolated in the nude and without day/night light cycles? Adequate meditation cannot easily be accomplished when one is disconnected from an outside reality and while under the effects of psychological torture.

unconstitutional, defenitely. unethical, maybe not. this guy isn't being sent to time out so he can think about what he did, he is paying the price for his crime with a punishment that isn't exactly a secret.
i think "psychological torture" is a bit extreme to describe his situation. to me psychological torture would be putting up a tv behind plexiglass with a reenactment of his crime over and over again with the survivors of the family each recording "i hate you" and having it played on repeat for the rest of his sentence.
