      they can’t isolate every prisoner at the same time, and by engaging in a sit down strike, they can’t fill those spots with people afraid to fight back.

        True they can’t throw everyone into solitary, but they can enact a lockdown which comes with its own particular cruelties and inequities

            its a prison. if they can’t do slave labor for a profit there’s no reason not to lock them down forever.

        That reminds me of the words of Jews during the lead up to WWII. No one wanted to be the first to die, so they all died. It’s easy to say to sit down and protest when you’re free.

      Counter counter point. I love being alone.

      I’m not trying to cover the point you’re actually making though.
