using independent little cells, as opposed to cells in a larger, more
traditional prison, insures:
-- the prisoners have even less privacy, mainly from each other
-- photo ops (pictures showing the orange-red clad prisoners praying outside
their little huts were very compelling)
interesting too that the little solitary confinement cell in the television
show "oz" is also a little, glass room, visible to all.

yes of course,but in such case this answer doesn't refer to design , just to
some precise unfortunate warlike situation. "caused by horrorifically well
designed acts".
And even general war design ( planes,helmets or eventually rifles) certainly
MUST be good...
but back on top, can a temporary design be a good one ? Like some Cristo
events ?
Is temporality versus eternity a determining factor of quality design?
