Ideally, rebels will maintain a continuous connection with their imprisoned brothers and sisters, and operate in concert. The work on the streets and in the prisons should be coordinated.
Revolutionaries should know about what happens in prison, about how the system works in prison, about the circumstances and conditions in prison, about who works there, about how to smuggle things in and out of prison, about the times when prisoners are moved from one facility to another, or when they are taken to court, and the routes taken; they should know as much about prison as the prisoners…indeed, they should know as much as the police themselves.
The most dangerous people in prison are the informers. When I was in prison in the UAE, most of the prisoners were foreigners, and their families were abroad. That will not be the case in Egypt. The families of informers can be identified, and this can potentially neutralize the danger posed to prisoners by the treachery of informers. The same applies to prison guards. In the UAE, most of them were from Mauritania; in Egypt, of course, they live among you. What they do at work in prison can much more easily bring consequences outside of prison.
You can restrict their ability to punish you, if you maintain complete unity with imprisoned rebels and coordinate action.
