negative health effects of the separation, and provide activities, reading
materials and the opportunity to exercise at least one hour per day. Living
conditions should be the same as a regular cell, and separated detainees
should be visited daily by the director or by a member of staff acting on
behalf of the director of the prison and medical staff.
