Quick question: What's the maximum punishment for treason in your country?
Life in prison.
However, that doesn't mean we keep them in solitary confinement for any prolonged period of
time. AFAIK you can only temporarily get put in solitary confinement if not doing so would pose a security risk (to the prisoner himself, to other prisoners, or to prison staff).
Yet, even in solitary confinement your human rights will be respected as much as possible; you won't get the Israel treatment.
