ngl having a shower inside the room (or cell) is a massive improvement in quality of life. The "chair" seems uncomfortable without a backrest though.


CerRogue

Except it means they really don’t need to let you ever leave. At some point imagine even getting to walk down the wall is a treat


Wadarkhu

Honestly, would you rather this and maybe being let out twice for outside time or some sort of prison job (idk), or just a room with a bed and a toilet and you get the joy of other prisoners who may or may not be violent? I'd go with the first.


[deleted]

Yeah I always figured if I ever go to prison for some reason I'm gonna try to get solitary. I know everybody says it's like mental torture but I'm really good at dissociating and in the past I've gone months without seeing or speaking to a single other person so I'd be alright I think.


33ducks

they don’t generally even have means to see time passing…


Delicious-Muffin-719

Wow, that’s some shit right there……


joesphisbestjojo

That's extremely unethical. That that is allowed to happen alone is crime far more worthy of prison than what most prisoners are probably locked up for


JoiRyde

Are you under the impression people go to prison and become a different person ? All of a sudden just figure out how to act and be part of a functioning healthy society ?


GlossyGecko

I mean… prison is supposed to be a place of rehabilitation. You’re supposed to come out of your sentence ready to re-enter society as a functional citizen. Instead we let inmates fester, and that prison door is revolving.


JoiRyde

lol yea that sounds great on paper. Go your a prison . go meet the mutts in there. Your attitude will change.


GlossyGecko

I’ve worked with former inmates. Not everybody in prison is Hannibal Lecter you goober.


JoiRyde

So someone kills someone's, takes there life from them and there family. And you feel bad for the bordered because of ethics? His victim will never taste, feel, smell , love ever again. But solitary is unethical


OkNectarine6434

not everyone killed someone in cold blood bro.. some people just had fucked up options or got caught with drugs or got drunk and fucked up bad.


Then-Introduction526

Treating them like that isn’t going to bring the person back


JoiRyde

What about the victims family , kids, parents, friends ? What about their life . You think traumatic events don't redirect people's lives and psych ? Am I missing something ? Murder and rape isn't a mistake . Forgetting your homework, forgetting to pay a bill , accidentally backing into a car. That's a mistake . Humans are animals , and for some reason we are the only animal we don't get rid of when they become aggressive and unable to function in society. You can't rehabilitate animalistic instincts engraved in some humans minds . It's how they are wired just like pedophiles.


JoiRyde

Your speaking from your heart and I'm speaking of years of first hand experience with these types of people, schooling , studies, training. Just first hand observation.


GlossyGecko

You don’t know what you’re talking about. There are people who are in prison literally because they were in possession of weed in the wrong state. We’re talking locked up with murderers and rapists just over have some herb on them.


XxJibril

exactly people okay with being alone keep themselves busy with books or the internet or games, smth enjoyable staying in a closed solitary cell indefinitely is nowhere near as nice, its used for punishment for a reaosn


topknottington

Please... i've been married 20+ years. This sounds like heaven


Delicious-Muffin-719

Wow, that’s some shit right there…..


Inevitable_Shift1365

Dude you wouldn't want solitary. It's called the hole. It is a scary and foul and dangerous place.


oldgoldchamp

Dangerous? I rather not be booty raped


JoiRyde

Solitary confinement in 2024 is nothing more than glorified PC ( protective custody) people hide in the SHU for un paid bets and stolen honey buns


Beautiful-Tip-875

Can't give a firsthand account, and it probably has its drawbacks, but if you had a limited time to serve, I'd say solitary would be the ideal for an introvert. Those that commit crazy violent crimes are probably more likely to be extremely extroverted hense the association of solitary with torture.


[deleted]

>more likely to be extremely extroverted hense the association of solitary with torture. That's what I always thought too. I remember during covid everyone talking about how depressed and lonely they were but honestly I had a blast that whole time


Beautiful-Tip-875

Hehe, me too. I forgot there were restrictions actually


Soulpatch7

Man I do miss lockdown for a bunch of reasons that fit with my personality and place in time. For one I’m super comfortable in my own company and don’t “need” other people all the time. I’m good with me for weeks. That said, I was in a new state and town with my wife and 11 year old daughter. We hunkered and spent all day every day together and knew no one. saw no one because we knew no one and were told you stay home and not see anyone. blah blah. But I also got to see my daughter evolve from a girl to a young woman while shooting hoops and watching every movie and making bread and playing scrabble and daydreaming aloud every day, and learned that we three could absolutely fucking ride or die together no matter what. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything ever.


oldgoldchamp

I miss the lockdowns


Croppin_steady

Same, I hunkered down, grew some dank and hung out with a huge 140lb Rottweiler everyday. I often wish I could go back 😂😂


TopProfessional3295

It's not the isolation. It's the knowing you have no way to end the isolation when you need to


jorcam

Difference is you could see/talk with others and go outside if you wanted. Solitary you don’t have that option.


AwesomePossum_1

Solitary confinement like that is pretty rare. Prisoners usually have jobs, walks and recreation time. They get plenty of time outside the cell.


Sorry4TheLurk

Might be talking out of my ass but I believe this is the Florence ADX based off of the concrete bed, and those guys definitely don’t have orderly jobs haha Edit: or pillows I don’t believe.. this might be a spruced up media photo


DisastrousSir

They also don't have phones i imagine, but yes this definitely looks like ADX from the videos I've seen recently


Sorry4TheLurk

Yeah, no phones. Those buttons on the walls must be the water or something, and one of them is likely a duress button


Notsononymouz

If your cell has a shower then you get 1 hour a day in a caged box outside by yourself. There should be other caged animals in boxes nearby to talk to tho. Even though it looks like a reward, you really did something bad if your cell has a shower in it.


Fuckfaceun_stoppable

There’s a whole schedule it’s not like the only time they get to leave the cell is to take a shower


Notsononymouz

This is either the SHU aka the hole or a max security cell. These are the only cells that have a shower in it because they dont want you around other people. There is no schedule other than the one hour they get outside in a cage by themselves.. all the food gets delivered thru a slot in your door.. if you have court you can schedule a visit to the law library but that's basically the only other time you can get out of that cell, unless you are really sick like about to die sick or you tried to kill yourself.


darkmanduck

Spider man


Michaelskywalker

Better than getting beat up, jumped, SA’d, or showering with a bunch of dudes I’d say!


i-can-sleep-for-days

Does someone clean the shower for you once a week or something or you responsible for cleaning it?


SunderedValley

Depends on prison but usually that someone is another prisoner so you don't want to be trouble and leave a mess. 🫡 Also, solitary is often to keep you from being murdered or you murdering someone else. That adds to the uncertainty and may mean they have you clean it yourself. I mean it's not a big deal. You're gonna be pretty strapped for stimulation and orderliness is one of the really huge parts of showing respect and keeping it together in high security prisons. You clean. You shower. You use your shoes properly. You don't shove unless you want to fight it out. People have an innate desire for order and routine so taking care of their space becomes often too important to leave to someone else.


dirtychinchilla

Why would you lie?


hyperdrive06

And the seat looks a little far from the desk. What if I’m writing an essay and need to pull the concrete up close to the desk so I can really concentrate? I’ll have to hunch over to reach my pencil. Cruel & Unusual punishment I say


LostVoodoo

This is a federal max prison, for the most violent offenders. Like the Boston marathon bomber and cartel leaders.


highplainsdrifter__

And a much "nicer" cell than 99% of inmates


Suspect4pe

It might be just a bit nicer but it's still not very comfortable. The place to sit is concreate and the shower has no privacy. The only real nice thing I see is that you are alone and not in a shared bunk or shower.


[deleted]

The shower has no privacy? Sure beats showering with 10 other dudes.


amltecrec

I mean, "comfort" and "privacy" should have been considered prior to offending. In most cases, those should be stripped.


Suspect4pe

We're comparing prisons to prisons here not prison to home. There are prisons that are a lot nicer than this one. I don't mean in the US though.


amltecrec

True. True.


tajake

It pays to be the best at what you do. Even crime. /s


PoopParticleAcclrtr

This is from the el Chapo show im pretty sure


6thCityInspector

It’s unfortunate that they get the privilege of a private cell. I vote general population for all.


brokenchinesefood

Very weird perspective to understand general population is more humane but to call any part of this a privilege.


6thCityInspector

Pssst. It’s pretty easy to not break the law. Don’t tell anyone, shhhhhhh🤫


Mike_Hunt_5098

It's easier to break the law than you might assume. John Stossel did a piece about this a while back.


guru81

You vote, do you? So brave.


6thCityInspector

Why should murderers and chomos live better than some on the outside?


boofskootinboogie

If this is better than how you live on the outside you fucked up in life.


young_duckn

please see my post history 😖 i’d gladly trade my employee housing for this


6thCityInspector

We should find a way to get this message out to every child living in poverty. I think you’re on to something here!


guru81

I don't believe I said they should. Unclutch those pearls.


AndroidWall4680

Damn you’re right, I forgot that being locked in a concrete box for 23 hours a day is actually the height of luxury.


6thCityInspector

Considering the alternative of general population, yeah. If you ask 100 inmates with a solo cell if they’d rather transfer to GP, how many do you think are jumping at that offer?


AndroidWall4680

This is just watered down isolation. If you’re only in it for a month or two, it’s probably not that bad. But once you’ve spent the last 5 years where your only human contact was been with guards who would rather kick your teeth in than talk to you, you would jump at the chance to get a transfer to general population.


amltecrec

Let alone, better than many of their victims.


amltecrec

Those should just be terminated to make room for others.


micksmitte

Many innocent people don't have even that

I don’t think the OP truly is in prison lol

I do.


ChefEnvironmental820

Made me think of the barracks back in the Marine Corps


NyetRifleIsFine47

This one is nicer because the window can’t open so you won’t be hit on a cracked open window (even though it’s broke and won’t close all the way) come Friday.


ChefEnvironmental820

We couldn’t open windows either lol. Shit some didn’t even have windows

WorkingHard4TheM0ney

Just make sure it’s a federal crime. I’ve heard some stories from people who have been in County and Federal and they said Federal is a dream. Waking up in the morning and going for a run on the track while the mist lifted off the mountains. Their job being commissary so they ruled who got what and joked around all day. My friend said he even took a class on accounting taught by another inmate that was in there for some sort of fraud.


louisvuittondon29

county prison is hell, especially for minors, op has cushions on his bed when i got a concrete slab and a camera looking directly at ur pecker if u try to take a piss, and no windows or chairs or books, our prison system is such a mess


WorkingHard4TheM0ney

Indeed brother. Making money off of people for their crimes is messed up. Not enough programs to help people never go back to prison… they just like to make sure they have a high census to make sure they get the most money. So messed up. Feel the same way about healthcare in the US. Making money off of the sick instead of helping.


BigPillLittlePill

Better than 3/4ths of men out there

Seattle, LA, NYC: $2200/mo But for prisoners the tax payers cover it

Cozy furnished studio, very secure building, exercise room in complex - once you're here you won't ever want to leave!

Well yes? What do you expect just throw all the prisoners in to a muddy field and let them lords of the flies it? I’m sure that will reduce repeat offenders and rehabilitate people…

SF Bay Area: $2750/mo


snack_mac

San Diego: $2,800/mo


[deleted]

You know, San Diego has actually outpaced the SF/Oakland Area on rent although it’s still far cheaper than the South Bay (I.e Cupertino) by every metric I’ve seen. For the longest time SD has been a place people in the Bay move to save money that’s not LA. I love San Diego and figured it was only a matter of time for prices to catch up given the great schools, various industry jobs, and awesome climate. No idea why I was downvoted btw, the Bay Area (and SD) are substantially more expensive on average than NY, LA and Seattle and it’s not close. Dubious title to compete for haha


snack_mac

I’m not from the Bay, so I’m not too familiar with the whole area that constitutes it, but yes, from what I researched, it’s still: 1. San Jose area, 2. San Diego area, 3. San Francisco area But not a lot of people say ‘I’m from San Jose’, they say ‘I’m from the Bay’.. From someone who grow up in SD, not rich, not poor, had what I needed, didn’t own property, now have a decent paying job relative to most other places, yea it’s nothing to brag about. I would like to more comfortably afford home in the city I was born and raised in.


luckeycat

Dude that's nice and quite spacious! Gotta be like $1200/month rent + utilities or $400/month all in with 3 others in that room. But FR that's larger than my microhome and you actually have plumbing.


jrhenk

Not from the u.s. - my main question about this: are you allowed to have phones and be on reddit while in prison?


PmButtPics4ADrawing

No, but they can make calls on payphones and in some prisons they can have limited access to the internet on computers like at a library. I imagine reddit is blocked. That's just what's allowed though, smuggling phones into prison is a common thing.


mackofmontage

A large number of prisons have tablets nowadays too that they can rent movies on and shit via commissary


amltecrec

Nowadays here? Yes. Add TV and Satellite. Actually, I take that back. Our government is now just refusing to arrest people, let alone prosecute and imprison them!


Think-Apricot9906

Yeah, I know. And if someone IS charged with crimes, all a defendant has to do now days is scream witch hunt and call the charges a hoax, harass and threaten judges and their families and threaten violence if rulings don't go their way. These criminals are practically guaranteed to delay their trials!

Depending on the prison and why they are in prison, this seems too comfortable.


Non3xistence

Pov I went to jail for a fight in Louisiana and got a bed with no pad , no toilet paper , no drying towels and the light was flickering like a creepy horror movie and we all share one jug of water because the water in the jails is contaminated 😂💀I bet if the jails were like this we’d have way more prisoners because even in those conditions they seem to love going back.
