21. I'm no expert, but I've spent some time touring prisons.

Solitary confinement is not that much different from protective custody. Would you prefer that term? Either way, the prisoner has no or almost no contact with other prisoners and deprived of the usual genpop privelages. Fine, lets call it protective custody.

There already is a lot of supervision and surveillance and they get away with so much. I'm not sure how much more infrastructure or correction officers they can get in the prison. I'm just guessing, but given the current effectiveness of supervision, I can't imagine that even doubling the current supervision would be enough.

Anytime you have more than 2 in a cell or freedom of movement by prisoners within units, its really almost impossible to stop prison rape.

What kind or how much supervision are insiders suggesting is needed?
