I went practically 10 years without seeing the sun (jail) and I always wonder what damage it did to me, if any.

  downvoted for what? He could be working there, or served by hacking and want to talk about it. If people post they were in jail in a post about "sunlight during the day", the "in jail for what?" should be expected..

  Nothing. You don't do anything in jail except look at the walls. Jails are for those waiting for trial. Prisons are for those convicted of crimes.

  It is legal in the US to utilize solitary confinement methods that are implemented 24 hours a day. [1] There are facilities without windows and some keep the lights on all day and night in their solitary confinement units. [2] In a recent story, D3f4ult discussed that this happened to him for a year and he was given 24/7 isolation for one year.

I vaguely recall a study long ago where they took 2 groups of prisoners of the most dangerous kind and did regular blood work on one group giving them vitamin supplements. After some months the guards chose to leave all the cell doors open, they were sitting in the hallway in groups playing board games, making music, singing, telling stories. The guards thought it was pretty funny. The other group was still doing their gang warfare, getting into fights, making primitive weapons and killing each other. Lack of D wouldn't be good for the brain. Symptoms of Shortage could be bone pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, cardiovascular disease, asthma etc but those are things you would notice.

  I definitely suffered bone pain, muscle weakness and fatigue, even while trying to work out every day. I can't speak for the cardiovascular issues. No asthma. I did try to maintain a low-carb diet for the 10 years I was locked up to try to balance things out.
