You're going to need to show that "non violent prisoners" are not searched, nor handcuffed and uncuffed probably multiple times a day in the process of moving them from prison to court holding cells to court to court holding cells back to prison.
Easy. Take any politician involved in embezzlement. Even if they will do decades of jail, during their trial they never wear handcuffs. Yes maybe they are VIPs. But this kind of shows that Assange is treated as an anti-VIP.

If they’re already in custody?
Will not argue that some celebrities / politicians do and should not get special treatment (lead out the back door, not through the media circus), absolutely.
But if you’re already in custody, you’re getting cuffed. Not least for safety/security/risk to yourself/other prisoners.
It is, particularly for non-violent prisoners

Its often used in high-profile cases.
> And maybe being in your cell for 23 hours a day is routine
It isn't. 60% of the cells at Belmarsh are multi occupancy and inmates at have access to education, workshops and gyms.
You seem to be casting doubt on a lot of claims, without putting in any effort to challenge your own assertions.
