They rendered Misa completely immobile and blindfolded her and kept her like
this for 40 days. Physically, she wasn't a threat to anyone and she couldn’t
have possibly broken out of the cell. Even if she could kill with only a face,
they could have worn masks to cover their faces whenever they interacted with
her in person. I just think It is a little inhume to have someone strapped
down for 24 hours a day, for 6 weeks, whislt blindfolded at the same time,
espically when it was completely uncessary to take such measures.

question
death-note
Was it really necessary to take such precautions to confine Misa


**They did not know it was unnecessary.** At that point in time they did not
know how she was able to kill. She might have been able to kill by mere touch
for all they knew. So to be safe, they confined her. This does not look too
inhumane and standard practise to me, considering the situation. Keep in mind
that despite her being a cute idol, she was also a serial killer and had
murdered their companion Ukita. L was not going to take any chances losing
another human life.

After reading chapter 33 again, it seems like L himself never really explained
why he confined her this way, other than
