I don't think he even got close to adequately expressing what a horror it is. I've never been sent to the hole, but I've been to jail, and I know a lot of people who have been to prison. When they spend all day in a dark room with no outside contact, eat your "foodball" with no implements like an animal, and get beaten by guards without reason or recourse, people really do go insane. It's not legal, but very common to even deny prisoners in the hole their one hour per day outside. That's who-knows-how-long where the only light you see comes through the crack in the door and the only thing you hear is the demented howling of some crazy guy down the hall.
