Do inmates experience boredom in jail? Can you provide an example of something an inmate might do for fun if they were bored?

Spartan circumstances only build character when you're allowed to maintain a certain level of self respect and esprit de corps.

And if you're not…well….

Because it's hard enough to pass the nighttime lockdown in jail without having to deal with sleeplessness, what with the dusk-til-dawn florescent bulb over your burnished chrome shaving mirror shining in your eyes, and the CO’s slamming armored doors throughout the graveyard shift.

They Just Wanted to Make a Space Movie. Instead, They Uncovered a Mind-Blowing Cosmic Secret - The Daily Galaxy
