"この部屋は「単独室」または「独房」と呼ばれています。分類の結果、集団生活を送るのが
困難な者、要注意の被収容者、性倒錯者、組織間の抗争で命の危険がある被収容者など
隔離する必要性がある、被収容者が生活する部屋です。"
daij's definitions of 独房 and 独居房 are essentially identical.
prog only has 独房: "a (solitary) cell 独房に監禁される|be placed in solitary confinement 独房監禁|solitary confinement"
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/居房
"居房(きょぼう)とは、拘置施設や行刑施設において収容者を収容するための部屋。居房には定員が一人の独居房(single-person cell)と定員が二人以上の雑居房
(multi-person cell)がある。"
  Comments:
I think it's used for both, so both glosses are appropriate.

Solitary confinement is an extra-strict type of imprisonment. Does this refer to that or is it just a cell that's designed for one person?

I don't think this is 2 senses.
