Actually it is cheaper that way in long run because it minimize the need of officer being present. Remember, at ADmax, each cell has its own camera to monitor from control room. Meaning less people is needed to save money on labor. Because of tighter control, there is no way any inmates can start the riot or get involved. Believe it or not, only one prisoner at a time can come out of a cell! And any other prisoner can NOT see the hallway, therefore can not do much anything to cause trouble. Most of the time 2 guards, sometimes three is used to escort the prisoner. Even worse, the prison is always chained and shacked before coming out of the cell. Making it nearly impossible to injury the guards. Hey, the guards do NOT carry keys, the door locks and unlocks from the central control room. That way, it is under tight control.

Can't talk to the guy in your cell, mealtime, rec time and etc. I can understand why they lose it mentally after a couple of months. Man is a social animal and take away the social aspect and insanity beckons them. Quite poetic if you ask me. Of course, there are always those (real hardcases) it doesn't affect greatly but that is rare. They gotta sit there and think about it forever...
