That's because the conditions at ADX are some of the most restrictive in the federal system. Unlike in other prisons, where #SolitaryConfinement is often reserved as a punishment for bad behavior & there are opportunities for prisoners to spend time in groups, in ADX, the prisoners are always confined alone & are required to stay inside cells no larger than a parking spot 22 to 24 hours a day.
