Yes. You can be separated from others (“segregated”) to assess or safeguard your physical or mental health. This could be done, for example, if you have an infectious disease like scabies. It could also be done to protect your own welfare –; for example, if there’s a risk you’ll harm yourself.
You must be given the reasons in writing for being segregated. While in segregation you must be visited regularly by a health professional –; that is, at least once a day, and at least twice a day if the prison staff believe there’s a risk you’ll harm yourself.
