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

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.

You can only watch so many hours of basic cable on the shitty day room TV…play so many tricks of Spades…read so many chapters of Michael Crichton…listen to so much Top 40 radio over your earbuds, before it all just becomes too fucking much.

Would you recommend 'My Holo Love' as a good Kdrama for someone who is new to the genre?

And as the seconds, minutes, and hours tick by, your ass starts to ache, your eyes cloud over, and your brain begins firing on one single cylinder.

That's where you play cards and board games;

Take a bunch of prisoners, lock them in a pen, make them as uncomfortable as possible and feed them shitty food, and if you're VERY VERY lucky, they'll only manage to take it out on each other.

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

They lash out under circumstances where they would normally just let things slide.
