Can anyone go crazy from being in solitary confinement for a period of time?

Asked by partyrock (3870points) March 26th, 2012

Can anybody go insane from being in solitary confinement for an extended part of time? Let’s just say, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years? They’d still be fed and have access to food or whatever, but have no human contact whatsoever. What would be the psychological effects of this?

Would it be possible for someone to be in solitary confinement for 5 years, and not go crazy(whatever crazy to you means)? Thanks
