Is it legal to put 2 witnesses in the same cell that are testifying against the same person?
There aren't laws about such minute details.
However, if the two witnesses are for the prosecution, the defense could easily object to the situation and assert that this prohibits the defendant from receiving a fair trial, or use the situation to try to sway the jury to discount some of the testimony from these two witnesses.
Also, many jurisdictions have a rule that either party can opt to invoke, requiring that the witnesses not be permitted to discuss the facts of the case until after they have both testified.
