In UK, solitary confinement (eg in the Segregation Unit) has a limit of 21 days. The article says that 'suspects' are confined in Supermax while awaiting trial. Therefore it is conceivable that some of the inmates in there are innocent. Remand prisoners in UK, even in High Security prisons, are never treated like that. I'm not in favour of cruelty and mental torture for even the most wicked of offenders. It does say that Abu Hamza wouldn't be held in this 'Facility' as he is disabled. So I wonder where he WOULD be held?
