Isolation in D Block - “the Treatment Unit" was reserved
for unsually dangerous or violent inmates. Men received
adequate food and health care, but were confined to their
cells 24 hours a day. A stretch in D block could last a
few days or several years, depending on the offense.


The six closed- front cells were used for the most
severe disciplinary problems.Treatment in the “hole”
sometimes included total darkness and a restricted diet.
It usually lasted several days, but never lasted more
than 19. Few inmates ever saw the inside of “the hole.”
