Actually, most (all?) are separated from the general population.
In certain cases, this is true. Those that are deemed at a greater risk of being attacked (example: it's leaked what they're in for) are sometimes moved into a protective environment with other people that are deemed "at risk." This also includes people such as gang informants and other criminals that are in prison for a various number of crimes. If these people find out, they can and will try to harm these prisoners during meals and other times they're in contact with people. On top of that, they're not normally in single rooms, so they also face the issue of being injured/raped/killed while they sleep.
