There is human interaction. Via videophone. We isolate people from bad influences, though.

People say "omg mental illness" but this kind of thing has never even been tried in the Skype age.

The goal is to make it more like the outside world, in important ways. We take people who live among bad influences and instead of immersing them in a world of even worse influences we put them in an environment where they're surrounded by positive influences (without being allowed to forget that, yes, they're in prison.)
