Is it? At least you would have something to do other than sit there.
This is NOT me saying that this is OK in any way. Just that "the hole" would be fucking awful. Lack of stimulation is torture.
Who need stimulation? Sleep is stimulating enough. Also, I’m pretty adept at creating games and tiny things to occupy my mind and time. Being a kid pre internet with few homies around definitely prepared me for such an occurrence. And I get it, it’d be that but for months on end, but if it prevents me from being a slave, then such is life.
You've never been in jail for more than 3 days if you think you can sleep through a multiple year prison sentence.
Once your sleep debt is full your body will not allow you to sleep more without chemicals and they don't exactly provide sleeping aids to you in prison.
No, I haven’t. Like I said in my other reply to you, I was never caught for my shit. I understand sleep debt being full is a thing, but you don’t understand my ability to sleep for lengthy periods. And like I said in my original post, I can find endless ways to entertain myself. Would it be an ideal situation? Obviously far from it, but you work with what you’ve got.
A friend of mine was arrested on felony charges while he was sick, so they put him straight into solitary for medical isolation. Once he had surgery and recovered, they relocated him to the panopticon area. He said it felt like getting out of jail, he was so happy just to not be in solitary anymore.
