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

That's where you watch The Price is Right;

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

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.

Why would my ex block me after I blocked him?

See those stainless steel stools?

And if you're not…well….

And a lot of this has to do with common comfort.

That's where you typically shoot the shit with your fellow inmates.

That's where you play cards and board games;

Why do atheists not love a G-d that does not stop punishing them harder and harder in this world and the next until they surrender to Him?

And that's where you've fucked right on up, since now you're inevitably going to nap, and nothing's more dangerous in jail than an intermittent sleep cycle.

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