what privileges do inmate have while in the SHU?
If an inmate gets in trouble and is sent to the hole, what privileges do they still have as far as phone use and email use?

The SHU restrictions are very rigid.

The SHU restrictions are very rigid. Inmates are permitted ONE 15-minute phone call per week. Their commissary list is reduced to a couple dozen items, only... more necessity items than and not a wide list of choices compared to the norm. The visits are limited depending on the reason for being sent there. Sometimes there are no visits, other times it'd be reduced to once a month.
