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

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

That's where you play cards and board games;

That's where you watch The Price is Right;

Some eventually relent and escape to their cells and those welded sheet metal bunks…really no more comfortable than the day room furnishings, but at least you can get horizonal.

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.

What would you do if you found out that someone had broken into your home while you were sleeping?

And that's where you've fucked right on up, since now you're inevitably going to nap, and nothing's more dangerous in jail than an intermittent sleep cycle.

That's where you eat your meals;

That's where you typically shoot the shit with your fellow inmates.
