After reading about solitary confinement I wanted to test myself by staying in the bathroom in my finished basement for a weekend. I'd have sunlight through a small window, a toilet, sink, and would have my wife bring me meals 2-3 times a day.
I figured this was pretty similar to real solitary confinement with the main differences being I'd be sleeping on the floor and could leave at any time.
Unfortunately she refused to participate so I never did it, but I'd like to think I could have easily competed it.
- reidjs 8y agoI don't understand why you needed your wife to bring you food. Can't you keep a couple days worth of food in there?
- lgeorget 8y agoI think I've already done it as a student in my 9-square-meter room. Haha just kidding. The truth is, spending a couple of days without hearing anyone's voice makes you feel out of place and depressed quite quickly, even though I don't mind being alone usually.
