Solitary doesn&#x27;t just mean single occupancy cells, it means separation from most human contact.<p>They could easily have groups of cells where inmates are confined individually but can still have non-physical contact with other prisoners.<p>And as most of those in solitary aren&#x27;t raving psychotics (mostly they attacked guards or rival gang members, an issue largely due to prison overcrowding) they could be allowed monitored time in the yard with other prisoners.
