Anyone who has been in a Federal supermax prison please help me understand . while being in solitary confinement what are you allowed to receive? What was your treatment like?

Solitary confinement is 24 hours a day lock-down. Three showers, three hours of rec per week. They can receive mail, reading material, limited commissary and one 15-minute phone call per week. The guards feed them through a slot in the door and when removed to shower or go to rec, they are handcuffed during the procedure. The loneliness is the worst part. If you are able, get them books, newspapers, and magazine subscriptions (email us for prices, we have really great specials running now for federal inmates), because the reading material is very limited. Write letters and send lots of pictures. That will keep his spirits high during this tough stretch.
