That's a form of "preferential treatment" I honestly don't have a problem with. Having a high profile inmate in the general population, a high-profile target, puts not just the target but the staff at risk. As long as the physical conditions, diet etc. are comparable in the isolation unit. Not giving her a cellmate, I'm not so certain about.
But even if she were in gen pop, i think she'd have been pretty physically safe. And probably in better shape psychologically, because she lives on attention.
The interesting things is Baca said in his presser that Hilton was not taking one of her meds. I wonder why she chose to forgo her that particular medication.
I have no problem with where she’s housed. There obviously needs to be a special section. My problem is the people who act as though she’s being terribly mistreated. She’s hardly at the point to sing “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen”.
