He gets out of his cell 1 hour a day now. He's treated like the unibomber and others in this manner. It's the way it is at this point. He has done too much to get any different treatment.

Exactly. And even in solitary with everything controlled, the guys will continue to cause problems by purposely flooding their rooms with water and shite to break the monotony.

Or collecting and saving their piss/crap to assault correctional officers with.

Or purposely injuring themselves in bloody ways (bite, scratch, whatever) and have to be forcefully extracted from their rooms to save them from themselves.

What the hell can you really do with people so uncivilized and violent that they can't even be given the basic ability to have access to running water or a toilet without them using it as a weapon against people?
