Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Solitary confinement was not ended in federal facilities during Biden's term. Executive Order 14074 (May 25, 2022) formally directed the attorney general to ensure restrictive housing is 'used rarely, applied fairly, and subject to reasonable constraints' - a push toward the promise's near-elimination standard - but implementation fell short. GAO reported on February 6, 2024 that about 8% of the Bureau of Prisons population was in restrictive housing as of October 2023 and that BOP had not fully implemented 54 of 87 prior reform recommendations, so the formal executive push did not land.
