ngl this seems significantly better than the alternative which is give them nothing. obviously solitary confinement as a concept is questionable but prisons using technology to offer prisoners entertainment and stuff is good and we should support that
Sorry, best we can do is slavery.
yeah this beats slavery by a longshot
Genuinely great! Even better would be solitary confinement not existing though :)
Here's an idea: Maybe don't put people in solitary confinement in the first place?
The real Matrix prequel.
help them cope with the trauma so we can retraumatize them better
Is it really solitary confinement though, when you're right next to another guy, and two prison guards are staring at your junk?
No fucking way this is real imma check

Actually just saw someone talking about this. Apparently although it looks/seems a little dystopian it is actually crazy effective. Like eliminating entire cell blocks of solitary confinement it works so well effective. I heard quotes from the prisoners along the lines of, “seeing these people just living their everyday lives out here made me want that and feel like I deserved it too”
Just gonna leave this here...
lol, that was a messed up episode. The worst stuff always happens to O’Brian
Yep, it's real.
