I have sensed that manipulation, untruth and deception are being used on both sides. Until this unproductive spirit of sparring with words, actions and inactions are stopped there will be no real change in how the SHU is operated. I recommend three things to happen before or after the 26th. 1. Come to the table with an open mind and seek small changes without compromising security. 2. Identify the most important grievances in the order of priority and start negotiating one at a time by both sides with good faith. 3. Once you reach an agreement on an concept allow a miniature prototype to be implemented to show good faith in spirit, allow this prototype model to work, evolve and produce for a short term e.g. 18 months before evaluations, assessments and progression can be made. Sometimes it is better to take baby steps to learn to walk all over again [as I see the current conditions crippling in nature] and once you walk on solid ground, progress to learn how to run again.
