Do inmates experience boredom in jail? Can you provide an example of something an inmate might do for fun if they were bored?

What's a joke you haven't used yet, but are dying to share?

You can only watch so many hours of basic cable on the shitty day room TV…play so many tricks of Spades…read so many chapters of Michael Crichton…listen to so much Top 40 radio over your earbuds, before it all just becomes too fucking much.

Time to break out the CS canisters.

See those stainless steel stools?

That's where you watch The Price is Right;

They lash out under circumstances where they would normally just let things slide.

And as the seconds, minutes, and hours tick by, your ass starts to ache, your eyes cloud over, and your brain begins firing on one single cylinder.
