I doubt he goes into solitary. If he gets the DP, he will go to death row at Central... they have their own solitary confinement that is only for DR inmates, but it is only used when a violation/infraction occurs. On death row he can be in the dayroom and watch TV from 7am-11pm daily, unless he is assigned a job. He will get scheduled outdoor exercise and "play" time, and allowed a visitor each week. He will have a bed, his own toilet and a writing desk. It will be like freaking Disneyworld for him :banghead:
If for some reason he does not get the DP (which will shock me), he would likely go into the general population. Central Prison's solitary confinement is called ICON, and is used only for infractions/violations. I again use the Josh Stepp example... until Richardson he was one of the worst child offenders I had heard of, raped and killed his 10 month old daughter. They gave him LWOP instead of DP... he has had 5 infractions since being in, so he probably spent some time in ICON... but sadly, he's still alive and there has been no word of any violence against him. Sadly, these scumbags still have "rights"... I think that when you murder someone, those rights should go away, but I am sure many would argue with me... so I digress.
