I’m kinda on risk for being put into one, so I kinda wanted to learn some stuff about how is it inside those. I think my biggest fear there is boredoom. Like, will I be able to videocall friends and/or listen to music there? Will my mp3 player/portable chinese retro emulator/phone/any eletronic be confiscated there?
I only went in to visit a friend. I felt very on edge when I was in there. Attendants were always watching, with mirrors set up so they had less blind spots. Everything in there is modified to make sure it is harder to hurt one’s self with, or others. The pens they gave my friend to draw with were just the ink cartridge with a rubber tube around it to make it easier to hold while also letting it flexible so it would be harder to use as a stabbing device.
My friend was pretty bored. There was no phones allowed, even to visitors. I don’t think they would let you bring anything in, especially not if it needs a charger.
It is not a place I would like to go to again. Especially not against my will.
