Poll: Lets say you're in prison. How would you spend your time in the cell?

[Patrick Buck]

Write and work out.
then when I left, I might be able to get the book published, make some money, and also feel better after not really being very healthy for sooooo goddamn long.

 

[DugMachine]

Really depends on how bad the prison is. If it was sayyyyy really notorious for getting stabbed and butt fucked i'd try and make friends with prisoners (of my own race) cause no body likes whitey in prison.

If it was a pretty mellow prison i'd work out a fuck ton, sleep and if they provided me with paper and pen, possibly write books.

 

[II2]

But I wanted to go to Dutch prison...

Fine, just sit, sleep and read/study I guess...

Jesus Christ, gotta go murder me someone dutch; that's nicer than most hotels I've been in.

 

[IronSuplex]

Read and workout, read and work out...
Look at all you tough guys, thinkin' prison is a cake walk. If I am correct, thanks to modern media influencing me, then prison should both mentally and physically break me. Cells are cold, dark, and empty pits housing murder/rape happy cellmates. Meals are a mix between excrement and school lunches. Guards are hair triggered and mean. Play time consists of attempted murder and rape. Theres the thought of you getting jumped at anytime, being "beautified" via shanks, and getting bullied.
Did I mention rape?

Spoiler

So i'll just go insane and see were that takes me.

 

[Goofguy]

It'd be great to have some idea as to how long I'm in prison for. Sure, it probably wouldn't change my routine all that much but as it stands, it feels like we're essentially trapped in a bare cell. How big is the cell? How much human interaction do I get? How much outside time do I get?

But alas, since this information is not provided, I'll give a short answer: calisthenics, sleep and fapping.

 

[Callate]

Plotting my escape and revenge on whoever put me there.

Assuming I'm actually there for good reasons, probably read a lot, maybe try to pick up a new language. Translation is always a useful skill.

 

[soren7550]

If it's anything like staying in the hospital, I'd end up counting the dots/holes in the ceiling, read, stare off into nothing, try to sleep, and wonder when the hell I'm getting out.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

If I'm in for something serious then I work out and make connections. If I've been wrongly accused I work out and figure out how I can have my record cleaned. Gotta think about the future.

 

[Soluncreed]

When I was at Alcatraz, I was told that when the really terrible people were put into solitary confinement, one of them ripped off his button, tossed it, spun around until he was nearly too busy to stand, and then attempt to find it. All so he wouldn't go crazy.

 

[Wanderer787]

Workout and avoid contact with other inmates, except when absolutely necessary.

 

[Adventurer2626]

I would sleep, lurk and find something productive to do. Probably do enough reading for five bachelor's degrees. Work out some.

 

[Korolev]

I would read books if possible and I would write if possible. I'm aware that some maximum security prisons are so strict that they won't let you even have paper or a pen in a cell (for fear of you stabbing someone else with them, although I can't imagine someone being killed with a piece of paper).

If they won't let me read or write, exercise is the next best option, combined with sleep. But I am aware that would be unlikely to occupy my time. If there are other cell mates, I would put effort into knowing them. They're less likely to shove a shiv into my side if I'm on a first-name basis with them. Most prisons have libraries, and if allowed, I would spend as much time as possible there.

 

[Random Fella]

Probably watch tv
Prison over here is a joke, it's pretty much a summercamp

 

[Wadders]

Work out, till I end up like Micheal "Charles Bronson" Peterson.

I'd even give the mustache a go.

A lot of reading would get done too.

Is that man drinking urine?

I would not be surprised, at all. He is insane.

Good thinking man. Thats actually what I would do if this was possible. I'd write or read books. I think they allow things like books and such because theres no way you could cause any harm or trouble with that. I'd guess they dont allow things like TV and such, since that would bring serious enjoyment to the prisoners and could also cause arguments between the prisoners about who will watch what and stuff like that. They dont want prisoners to have fun or have arguments, because if you could have fun in a prison then what is the point of prison? Sure you're locked, but if you get everything you'd get in your own home then being in a prison would be just like being in your own home, the only difference would be is that you're locked and cant get out of there.

I think communicating with the other prisoners would be a good idea though, especially if you're going to stay in prison for a long time, like a year or more. It could help you feel less lonely and have someone to talk to. Obviously there are dangerous prisoners though that could possibly even rape you if you mess with them, even if you were only trying to talk to them nicely. So you still would have to be careful about that.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Where to start, smoke for a bit, make some fancy toilet-wine, workout, carve shanks, and spend the rest of the day on a coloring book.

OH, and make friends, LOTS of friends, especially with "Big Mike"

 

[AperioContra]

Hmm, I an intellectual guy with a weight and attitude problem who can't fight his way out of a paper bag...
Biting down on pillows, trying to think of happy thoughts, most of the time.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Spoiler: But I wanted to go to Dutch prison... :(

Holy balls, Dutch prisons are THAT well supplied? Who in there right mind would want to leave?!

OT: Dunno. Maybe draw. Reading is great way to pass time.

Being stuck in a cell for a few years would give me plenty of time to read the entire Song of Ice and Fire series.

 

[Grottnikk]

I would spend the majority of my time devising various strategies for not getting fucked in the asshole.
