    Cells could have natural day light and night time lighting during appropriate hours.
    Now it just sounds like you want to coddle them. Let them stay in their cells 24/7, no visitors, no TV or books. Nothing except some food. They can leave their cells when they die.
    Keep the DP and use it for more than just when white people are killed or police are killed.
    That's my opinion.

    I think we should bring back the old fashioned way of capital punishment with a simple bullet to the head....quick, instant, and cheap unlike lethal injection or the gas chamber. Oklahoma and Utah still use the firing squad and it might be reintroduced in Florida for death row inmates. I'm not sure why so many states stopped using execution by gunshot.
