Very odd that supposedly advanced Denmark would impose barbaric solitary confinement. How we as a species still get away with this tactic is beyond me.
In particular, what Denmark considers really barbaric are long sentences: 10, 20, 30+ years are quite unusual. Most sentences are less than 2 years, with a handful of severe sentences in the high single-digit range.
The list of things that are beyond me, and probably many member on this board can be quite long. A radical example is: who decided that planet Earth belonged to a bunch of corrupted politicians and executives and not the rest of us, preventing people to roam freely, and to freely decide where they can live, work, raise their family...
To argue against the line "it's only natural that the corrupt seize power" look no further than the various cases where decency and enlightenment prevailed.
Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
