Yikes. Here's a totally contrary opinion from someone who has also been to AggSeg -
AggSeg is the VERY BEST place you can be in jail or prison. I spent almost a year in AggSeg and it is lovely.
- It's "single cell" meaning you don't have to live in close quarters with a random criminal.
- You don't have to socialize with random criminals during your free time, so you don't have to worry about the constant violence and rudeness you find in General Population.
Other than that, just read books, work out, and sleep. They bring you food 3 times a day. Honestly I would pay for this. There is nothing difficult or badass about it at all. Surviving in general population, that's actually difficult.
Everyone who wants to it sound like "THE HOLE" is just being dramatic. They are also playing into the corrections industry propaganda about the matter: The industry wants people to think of this setup as awful and barely-legal because the reality is that all inmates would prefer to be housed in a cell to themselves and be guaranteed to not encounter violence in the yard, but it would cost 2-3x as much to provide this type of housing to the entire population.
