I worked in a prison. I've seen this tactic used many times to discredit inmate "gang leaders." You pull him out of the dorm for an hour, send him back, give him new bedding, extra food on his plate, etc. Let the belief build that he's a snitch, maybe even let a trustee overhear a conversation about the "snitch.". It either dissolves the gang he leads or they turn on him and beat or kill him.
