Cohen was reportedly relegated to solitary after he got into some kind of scuffle with another inmate over Cohens internet use. Cohens attorney Roger B. Adler told Fox News that was his understanding that a verbal altercation with another inmate prompted a transfer from general population to SHU pending the completion of a routine investigation.
