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;

The perpetually tired don't think straight.

What do you say after "Hi" when chatting?

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