There will be some prisoners who would choose not to exit their cells and stay in solitary confinement and then there will be a number of prisoners who, for medical reasons, are requested to stay. Do we have those figures? How many prisoners are in solitary confinement at their own request, for want of a better term? How many prisoners remain there on medical advice?
