I did not know this (as a non-native speaker of English I just knew "solitary" - "alone"). It is well-known to me that lack of daylight cycle etc. for a longer time can cause medical conditions.
> Two, it renders prisoners even more vulnerable to abuse by officers than even regular inmates.
A really good argument. Accepted.
> Four, just as an empirical matter, there are a pile of studies on the negative mental health effects of solitary confinement. Much like a math proof, “it’s true because it’s true.”
This only shows that for the "average person" it causes problems.

Some prisons have gotten around the requirement that prisoners be exposed to daylight by placing the windows where they cannot be seen, but some of the light can be from the cell. That way they can be say they're providing daylight, it's just that the prisoners cannot see a window. Sometimes it seems that the people who runs prisons are just as sick in the head as they people inside them.
