You should probably indicate that you're quoting from the article...

The newly built maximum security prison in El Salvador has some space built for isolation.
Couldn't find it in English, but here you can see their equivalents to the hole:

The whole video is interesting if you want to know how a maximum security prison looks inside and outside (There's a 30min video from the day the inaugurated it)

The Hole conditions vary as to location, security level of institution; minimum, medium, or maximum security, Federal versus State prisons.

In some places, it’s simply an isolation cell. Typically no phone, no commissary, no extra food/drinks, no mail or visitors during an inmate’s stay in solitary. Infrequent showers, rare opportunities for recreation.

In some prisons, the inmate is only allowed to wear boxers and a tee shirt, or a suicide prevention apron.

In the worst cases the cell could be dark and is often filthy.

Most prisons are smoke free, so definitely no smoking in the hole.

Customarily, the mattress is confiscated during the daytime, so there’s no place to lie down or sit.

On prison documentaries, I have watched many, they call it "the jail within a jail".

As an investigator, I’ve been inside numerous jails and prisons and believe me, everyone is miserable. Understandably.

"The Hole" is whatever your captors in a particular facility decide they want it to be. It can be anything from a dark cell with a thin mattress and a blanket to an empty box with a drain to shit into and constant "checks" to keep you from sleeping in between freezing firehose sessions.
