I always believe Hess went to England on Hitler’s orders.
Hess didn’t take a dump unless the Fuhrer told him to.

It would explain why they kept Hess locked up in solitary until he died. No one could know what he offered.

Hess was not locked up in solitary; in Spandau prison, kept by the allies for the imprisonment of the highest-level war criminals, Hess was in what we would call "general population" and could socialize with the others. In later years (I think, after Albert Speer and Baldur von Shirach were released in 1966), he was alone, only because he had a life sentence and everyone else had been released.
