Those who are given recreation, have it alone, whether in the day room or outside in a fenced-in area, similar to a dog run. They eat alone in their cells and are taken shower alone. They are no longer allowed to participate in the work program, to have a cell mate, to watch TV, to make any crafts or art work, and only those with on the top disciplinary status are allowed radios. Under those current conditions, they are not even afforded the basic necessities of civilized human existence as judjed by contemporary standars of decency in a prison setting. Terrell Unit can become a virtual incubator of psychoses.
Prisoners can become deeply depressed and close to suicide.
