Manure stinks. No matter what you call it, or how euphemistically it's phrased, the stench lingers.  Driving along a highway, "overpass structural rehabilitation" is still bridge repair, and "downsizing" means one should update the resume.  Calling solitary confinement "administrative segregation" may make it sound more pleasant, and assuage our collective conscience, but it does nothing to change its effect on those that are forced to endure it.
