It is an impressive excoriation against the US Bureau of Prisons and its policies. The US loosing an extradition case from its very closest ally because the US prison system cannot be trusted to keep even white collar "criminals" (loosely) alive would globally confirm that the US is a human rights violator.

Is the need to 'guarantee' special treatment not an admission of guilt?

It's an admission that the prison system is in many ways inhumane, but that's hardly a secret.
