In Conscience and Convenience: The Asylum and Its Alternatives in Progressive America, David Rothman writes that 50 percent of the patients at the asylum in Worcester, Massachusetts, were immigrants or children of immigrants; at McLean, barely 10 percent were. At the asylum on Blackwell’s Island in New York City, the figure was 86 percent, while the private Bloomingdale asylum had only 31 percent.

9. For a number of reasons, there is no precise count of people in solitary confinement in the US criminal justice system. Eighty thousand is a frequently cited number; it comes from a 2005 census done by the US Bureau of Justice Statistics. See James J. Stephan, “Census of State and Federal Correctional Facilities, 2005,” US Bureau of Justice Statistics, October 2008. More recently, the Yale Law School, along with the Association of State Correctional Administrators, conducted a survey that concluded somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 people were in solitary in 2014, a number that does not include local jails, juvenile facilities, or military or immigration detention.

The act, which initially only applied to group health plans, was later amended to apply to individual insurance as well.
