Why Do People Go Crazy In Solitary Confinement?
Solitary confinement requires that an inmate be restricted to one cell and has no contact, or at least very little contact, with other inmates.
Kinds of solitary confinement differ all over the world, and no doubt in some countries you still have what might better be called dungeons. In most developed countries these days such segregation units are not as barbaric and prisoners should have some time outside of the cell as well as receive enough nourishment that they won’t be looking forward to the next time an insect gets into their cell. Nonetheless, many critics call it an inhumane, psychological torture that is hardly in line with rehabilitation. Let’s now see how you might deal with it, in this episode of the Infographics Show, How to get through time in solitary confinement.

I did 30 days in solitary and I was having auditory and visual hallucinations the last 10 days. They never me turn the light off and they only let me have a mat and cover for 4 hours a night, so a lot of it might have been sleep deprivation. It was so bright and stark white in there when they let me out for one hour in a little medium room with a shower, everything would look like I was looking through water. It was rough. Only 30 days. I can't imagine years.

30 days it's still pretty long that's a month
I did over 30 days in a small confinement cell for fighting in two dorms, I Read a book a day and worked out, almost went crazy but it was also one of the most profound spiritual experiences in my life
it was only peace of mind i got! i am bit of a loner i guess you could say but i slept good felt good , and i could see a female that worked there through bean flap , heyy we all have done it, it had been awhile so.......i raised it from a pup , ill beat it like a dog
Im from iran and spent 14 months in solitary confinement, here solitary is a 2x3 cell with almost no light for most of the day, unless few hours when they let the tiny window on the cell door open (again if the hallway light was on) there were almost no sound of talking or birds or traffic, it was easier ti deal with the ringing when I talked or sang to myself or when it rained. the cell was dirty, I had 2 awful meals per day than together didnt have enough nutrients for a snack, I had 5 minutes per day to go to the bathroom in the same hallway and a 30 minute bath each friday, the only ppl I saw were gaurds, there were more than a dozen but only 6 would talk and 4 of them hated me for no reason. but still better than nothing. I lost 25 kilograms of weight, good portion of my hair, even more than a quarter of my eye lashes turned white, but the worst is my brain, Im not talking about mental health or PTSD, my brain is dead in many parts I can feel it physically, I have huge memory problems, I cant concentrate on anything, I cant talk properly anymore, and I constantly think differently, I cant decide anything or act in a concrete manner, I'm changing by the minute, I even judge my own thoughts of few minutes before. btw I'm not a murderer or something, I was imprisoned for 3 years and then while serving last 14 months solitary, all for thinking my mind, I questioned the dictator of iran, not even with the true honesty and rage within me, I just cowardly criticized his dictatorship. I was an engineer and artist before now I'm constantly lost and in pain.

@@4n4rch1st7 You are making a mistake. Confined space is not the same as solitary confinement as you are devoid of any stimuli. When you confined to your room, you have at least some stimuli such as a book, toys etc. Even then, after several day or weeks you will begin desiring to go outside and crave new stimuli. Psychologically deterioration cause by solitary confinement are the same for both introvert and extrovert. We human are social creature, and desire stimuli. You yourself probably have socialized too. Especially with the internet, you can find more of those who have shared the same interest as yourself.

@@Venomsplatter 🙄🙄
@@rogaldorn4759 what?
It's not just used for "insane" people. They place people in there for a few reasons. First, if you're suicidal. Second, if you break the rules or are disruptive. Lastly, they might place someone in there for safety reasons, if someone on the ward has it out for them, and they need to be in a safe place away from that person. Even something silly like taking pictures on the ward with your cell phone will land you in a high observation or seclusion room. They claim "no pictures" for "privacy" reasons, but they have no problem filming people with security cameras. I asked, and even if you were in a room all by yourself and you took a selfie in it? Not allowed. No privacy violated if you're by yourself. They say that when a rule or law doesn't apply equally to everyone, that's called tyranny. I know, someone takes a picture in the hospital, goes on social media and the hospital might get bad press. However, this day and age, there's a whole bunch of other ways to talk about your experiences, not just a picture. People can write reviews of their hospital stay, visit to the mall or favorite store, all kinds of things. People read those Google reviews and will choose to shop there based on the reviews. Word of mouth is more powerful than any picture could ever be. I actually wrote a review on Google about my hospital stay, definitely wasn't 5 stars that's for sure! Unlike prison solitary, there is only like 3-4 high observation seclusion rooms from what I've read from most hospitals. Where I was staying, they had a "swing room" as they called it. I think this was a time out room perhaps. The rest of the unit had 26 rooms and most of the rooms had between 2-3 people staying in them.

I'm a writer and spent 2 summers in relative isolation. The second time I house-sat for a couple who went overseas for 3 months. They were relative hippies who lived in the hills away from people. I had no phone or television, but did have the internet. I seriously just about cracked. I became deeply suicidal and thought I wasn't going to make it. They had 2 cats, so it wasn't like I could just say "screw it", and leave. I definitely don't recommend going into that kind of a situation without having a back-up plan.

I've been in solitary confinement for 2 weeks before, the first day you just panic then you have dreams that seem like reality when you fall asleep, days slowly pass by but as long as you can read or write you can pass some time, but even with reading and using your brain within about a week you lose yourself on the outside.. your humor goes to shit your thoughts are wild and all you feel like you know is inside those prison walls, you adapt and conquer, where I was at you had no track of time or what day it was, no clocks, no calenders, and only 2 hours tops of interaction with other inmates, you would get lost and not know what day it was but you could keep track of how many hours go by because a gaurd would go by your cell each hour on the hour to check and see if you okay, they would only stop and talk if you were disobeying rules or dead. If you were going crazy or crying they didn't care, I actually got more used to living in solitary then the outside world, it's still hard to be out some days
I have social anxiety and became agoraphobic for like 3 years. All I can say is, do not isolate yourself socially. It really does start to drive you insane. But you can recover from it if you put in the effort.

Whenever I was in solitary confinement I would pass the time by pacing in circles or laying with my arm under my face on the floor so it was nice and dark. I would think of people I knew on the out and I'd try to imagine what they were doing at that moment or thinking how their lives were going, I'd try not to think of anything to do with being incarcerated; Id think of places i wanted to visit and things I'd like to try when I got out, I'd also think of what kind of flat I'd want to live in when I got out and how I'd decorate it and stuff. I'd visualise every single detail when I would think about these things

Aside from jokes "you can't lose it if you're already mad", I was reading an article about this yesterday. Among other things, it said "Given that the U.S. has 10 times as many people with mental illnesses in jails than in state hospitals, the use of isolation for people with mental illnesses is beyond troubling". "Solitary confinement often exacerbates existing psychiatric conditions and not infrequently leads to suicide. In Texas, for example, suicides rates for those in solitary confinement are five times higher than that of the general prison community." Oh, and there's solidary confinement in some mental health hospitals too.
Can confirm about the mental hospitals. I was thrown in there cause my mom's a bitch, i literally was taken kicking and screaming and placed in solitary then promptly sedated, luckily for me i was only there for a few days.
Da69expert1 I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. I think it's completely unhelpful and shouldn't be in practice anymore. Especially in mental hospitals.
Thanks for this.
A cynical part of me says that is why they do it so people will off themselves, to get rid of them :(
I have always been lonely, I have never been shy, I just don't find attractive to socialize, since I study at home once I passed three months without going out, obviously my house is not a prison, but sincerely the thing I most apreciate about it rather than a cell is the privacy, I am poor, so most of my life I hadn't a cellphone nor a pc, only mountains of books, notebooks and school items. The most I passed without seeing any person were those three months, though, my contact with people is minimum, only at the stores when buying groceries or books, the reasons I don't get crazy or feel depressed are two, first I know any day I can talk to someone, but I just think about it and I lost all interest since I don't see the point nor joy, and second, I am not away from society in all sense, books, music, history, philosophy, all human things that make me happy and the reasons why the human is my favourite creature, but as with a polar bear, I rather watch them from distance, they are not good for me, nor me for them.
YOUR LUCKY, JAIL is a different world, stay well away from it
*do you know? if you are already crazy, you won't be crazy.*
tell that to the crazy people
I believe that its not the fact that you are in solitary confinement which makes you crazy, I think people go crazy because of the fact that they dont know when or if they will ever leave that lonely place.
That's not mutually exclusive ya know... it can def both however prolonged sentencing will of course exacerbate your suffering and mental health.

Holy wow, all those remedies to staying sane is absolutely true! I haven't been to prison but for a time, like everyone here, I grew depressed in my early 20s and spent lots of time to myself, wanting to explore my own mind and find some way out of this perpetual funk. All these activities I practiced: writing, reading, painting, drawing, fantasizing/meditating, coming close to acceptance. Then when covid happened just after I came out of that long funk, I was prepared and carried on with these activities to the utmost! I really found a light deep down, and that helped. Though I still hit my lows but it could've been a lot worse, and yet I was still grateful for the health and security I had throughout the lock down. I'm 27 now, still managing myself as willfully as I can to keep busy, and feel fully confident I can go another year or two in lock down if I had to. *knock on wood*
I did 11 days of solitary and it was what I needed at the time. This video has some good to great points within it. I read at least one biography a week before the lockdown; it usually was about someone way more famous, in much worse shape and some did not pull the plane out of the tailspin. Meditating alone, isolated can be a blessing after living with 59 other souls in a small bunk type area for well over a year and a half. Controlling my routine were key. Daily tasks. Everyone must have a purpose to keep their stuff together. Does not have to be a massive purpose. The once a week the cleaner and mops and brooms were shared were uplifting times I try to bring to my cleaning while in the free world. I ended up in prison for possessing and processing a plant. One fight over $7.00 (if you judge, you have much to learn about things inside) and there I was for possibly 30 days. Be one with yourself or your time will be horrible no matter what you do. If you go, detach from all tech, forget about things to be bought in the free world and be comfortable with alone time. Read a ton and stick to yourself.
*Can I bring my sketchbook, pencils, erasers, and coloring there?*
No
Depends on the prison, the state, the country and how dangerous the prisoner is considered. Many are allowed to do art and have art supplies. Of course anything seen as a potential weapon would likely not be allowed. A lot of American prisons seem to have worse conditions than any other developed western country. Check out Scandinavian prisons for the other extreme (mind you their prisoners rarely end up going back).
@FlogRocks did you even watch the video? As it points out there are two basic types of solitary, one is to protect a person from others and one is a form of punishment, plus what you are legally entitled to varies a lot depending on what country (or what state in the USA). Solitary as a punishment is very rarely used for long, it's generally like a time out for a toddler so more than a week or two is unusual, but solitary to protect a person or to keep trouble makers away from the general population will often last years or decades and they can generally have access to things like art supplies, books, TVs ECT.

Inspiring. Nice to see it's about how to get through it, not just how people spiral downwards as the title suggests.
I've done time in the box. Where I was there was a 30 cell block. Everyone would just yell out their doors to each other all day although there was a lot of quiet days as well depending on the atmosphere of the block from day to day... Plus everyone did rec together after breakfast every morning for an hour.. The only inmates in restraints were the ones who got in fights and even then it was only for five days.. You get use to it. You can get books. You can get colored pencils and stationary from the commissary... You could get out for an hour a day to use the law library, which was on a kiosk in the middle of the block meaning you could talk to people in their cells without any problems. The point is you exploit the situation to stop from going nutty..
I enjoy reading, writing, and meditation. I would literally just do all three all the time. Probably workout too. Not to mention I’m a major introvert. Not that any of those would keep me from going insane, but I feel like I’d do alright.

Sounds like fear more than anything. Prison isn’t that bad though I don’t recommend it. Everyone thinks it’s non-stop violence and raping. It’s 99% boredom and finding ways to pass time.

This sounds like the story of khory wise. The central park 5 should be talked about more there story makes me cry.
Bruh the corona quarantine got me thinking. I feel these people smh
1 week in jail (wrongfully so, as in accused but didn’t do anything) felt like an absolute eternity. The mind was in a constant battle with no feelings but betrayal and lacking all clarity. I for one personally could never imagine being trapped for 40 years, yet alone 8 days!
I just got out of jail the other day. When you first get locked up you gotta do at least 3 to 4 days in reception which is 23 and 1 lockdown. I’ll tell yah from experience. Those few days locked in a cell feels like an eternity. After just a few hours you start to get anxious and feel like the walls are closing in on you. You have to be very strong mentally to stay sane. I’ve seen people begin to bash their heads against the walls/door after spending just half a day on lockdown. If you’re weak you’ll crack under pressure unbelievably quick. I remember being sooo fucking happy to get into GP after my 4 days in reception. Jail isn’t too bad but 23 and 1 is no fucking joke and really puts your sanity and mental strength to the test. One thing is for sure, you leave reception with a greater appreciation for all the small things. Just even being able to walk around and talk to someone when you please feels like a luxury once you’re out of the hole. You take so much for granted until you lose everything and are highly restricted from the basics

I have chronic pain so I have spent extreme amount of hours doing basically nothing and while sure I have the internet; learning and hobbies and learning to be okay with your situation is key. As long as you stew unhappiness and anger and frustration it will eat away at you much worse. I think learning is important for mental agility and learning languages is an option that I think someone could clock a lot of years doing even if it only is for reading since you can't hear the pronounciation in that cell most likely. I would probably try to live very buddhistic with meditation and self improvement, self control and strive for enlightenment. I'm right now both learning a third language as well as learning to write with the opposite hand for the challenge and crafting, coloring and art in general is very helpful. Studying color theory for example can keep you entertained a while by memorizing complementary colors and the color wheel and such because it's a surprisingly deep topic. So is psychology, anatomy, genetics, behavior, body language, brain functions, brain development and other similar knowledge. If you just start to five into topics you can easily kill time day by day and live sleep to sleep.
I've spent my fair share of time in county jail on possesion charges and subsequent probation violations, during one of my 30 day stints (probation violation, I wasn't able to get a ride the 5 miles to go check in, waited for them to come get me instead. called in, to no avail. they have no sympathy for personal problems, even for disabled folk) I had an infection in my leg and it was extremely swollen and they thought it could be MRSA (it wasn't) but they put me into medical isolation, problem was the room they put me in didnt have a sink or a toilet. it was about 6x9 as well, but they had an open pit in the floor as a toilet. I was there for about a week until the swelling had receded after being given antibiotics. I could only have water after banging on the door for about 45 minutes and getting yelled at for doing so, They didn't even open the door for me at all. the only time I saw other people was when they opened the food tray slot. I handled it ok but I could imagine spending more than a few weeks in that sort of situation would drive me insane.
I won’t drive me crazy, I am already insane
crazy and insane are 2 different thing
I went to county jail for 9 months a decade ago when I was in my mid 20s, and I wound up getting solitary confinement as punishment for a fist fight I was involved in. It was only two weeks, so my feedback is pretty meaningless I admit, but how I occupied myself during those two weeks: *Tons of reading. I've always been a big reader, and it became a literal obsession during my 2 weeks in solitary. I read so many novels during those two weeks. *Tons of writing. I wrote at least two letters a day to friends or family members. *At that time, I kind of got into religion. More specifically, the study of 'comparative religion', in which you study, compare, and contrast the beliefs and origins of multiple religions, without really believing in or adopting any of those religions for yourself. I am not into any of that anymore, and I am not religious in the least anymore, but I had a Bible, a Qur'an, and some other religious texts with me in that cell, and I read and studied them obsessively. Even though I did not believe in these religions, I admit the Bible and Qur'an can still be very motivational and uplifting at times. It actually helped keep my spirits up. *Meditation/prayer. *I practiced the last example used in the video a lot. I compared my situation to similar or much worse situations others have experienced throughout history. It helped remind me that what I was going through was actually extremely minor and nothing to worry about at all. It was no big deal in the grand scheme of things. *I also developed a habit of trying to memorize books and texts. I would pace my cell back and forth and try to recite, from memory, a book I was currently reading. From the first word of the book to as far into the book as my memory would allow me. And I kept practicing this - able to recite from memory more and more of the book as the days went by. It's a pretty ridiculous and pointless activity in general, but when you're bored and in isolation and only have a few books to entertain you, trying to memorize an entire book is actually pretty effective in passing the time. *I'd "listen" to my favorite songs in my head. I play guitar and know basic-intermediate musical theory as well, so I would write my own songs in my head and transcribe them to paper as best I could. I'd use paper and a pen/pencil, draw a musical staff, and start transcribing my song to the best of my ability. I'd also transcribe songs I did not write. My favorite songs. I would transcribe them to sheet music as well, just for something to do. That was my tiny, insignificant experience. I feel so bad for people stuck in solitary for months or years or, worse of all, decades. I can't even imagine that.
From my experience as an Instructor, I noticed that the Inmates could blitz through a tome like Dante's Inferno, Gone with the Wing, or The Count of Monte Christo in days. Their problem was, even with a 6 month sentence, to find enough reading material to get through their sentence. . . . and of course leaving a novel in the middle (say page 482 in a 2000 page novel) upon release.
The 7 r 's perfectly explain the way to get thru time . In total I only did 2 yrs confined and I had to destroy my old self and create an alternate personality that turned out to be better and I haven't been in trouble since
I spent a few years off and on in this. Probably wasn't great for me. Pacing was a great sport for me. For hours.
If you are in Guantanamo bay they can run the lights at varying intervals like 2 hours one day and 20 the next this can run a hard one on a persons circadian rhythm if done for months and random.
I almost went insane doing 2 yrs in solitary confinement...but the most high herd my prayers and instantly stopped my dizziness and bad headache.
In psychiatric hospitals, high observation units, or seclusion rooms are the equivalent of solitary confinement. They also have padded rooms in emergency for patients who aren't assigned to a unit yet. I spent about 5 days in there due to a situation caused by medication side effects. I also overheard one of the nurses saying I had sleep deprivation. That can also make people go nuts. I had hardly any sleep since being first admitted to the emergency room until they prescribed some sleeping pills for me about a week after admission to the psych ward. It was so loud in the general unit and in high obs my nerves were shaking the whole 2 months of admission. I had to wear earplugs the whole time to try and drown out the noise and not to overwhelm my sensory system which also was easily overloaded. The guy who was a couple doors down from me said he was in there for almost a year. I overheard he was from a prison, but his mental health was unmanageable for the prison staff, so they placed him in high observation away from the other patients. When I got back onto the general unit, I could hear him crying and pleading for help followed by going crazy a few days later. Perfectly understandable if you're confined to a box by yourself for almost a year. Little to no contact with anyone aside from a security guard, the nurses, and doctors. Most of the time the patients aren't physically locked in their rooms, unless they get really out of control. They also have pinel restraints for patients who become combative. Otherwise, you are confined to the high observation area, and there are police, security guards, nurses with drug injections, and a keycard locked door to keep you from escaping.
anyone here in real life solitary confinement aka quarantine
Split wigs and bust cheeks to stay sane
The big herc way
Oh yeah yeah.
i spent 30days in seg las year, u get used to it after coupl weeks. u learn to adapt, u learn that stressin urself wont change nothn so it becomes natural
Was in solitary confinement for about 2 days in county jail. 2 construction paper thick covers and no pillow, about 13 inch cement bench with sticky stuff on one side. about 6 ft by 9 ft cell. Went near crazy about day and a half in. Cell was in view of the po wall clock thankfully. That light on 24/7 and about 65°f. WHY do they have a light on 24/7, WHY give them 2 too thin covers, and WHY too narrow of a bench? You can call it what you will, it's basic human rights violations that I see. People need a period of at least 7-8 hrs of darkness for sleep, people need adequate cover to keep warm, adequate pillow for proper neck alignment, a bed as wide as a person laying on their back, and adequate cushion as opposed to bricks in the back and ribs.
Day One I've been in prison for a few hours and everyone here tilts their head side to side ALL THE TIME. The inmates, the staff; even I've started doing it.
You out yet?
@@capncake8837 I was being facetious.
Vsauce has done this And he survived
It's because Vsauce is a madlad
Micheal stevens did it for 3 days and not many years in mind field season 1 episode 1
Because vsause is a god
Newby Ton but he’s a god
3 days big deal, just a publicity stunt! Plus he knew he was getting out! Watched it what a joke, to real prisoners going through this.
thank you for speaking about the travesty of the treatment of the angola 3
I know its not the same, but for 35 years I experienced a type of societal withdrawal/denial as a long haul trucker. 35 years of little and some days zero interaction with other humans. When I retired, I had to learn how to be around people and not feel panicky or untrusting. I have a few subscribers and youtube has helped me become a normal person again. I still find it uncomfortable to be around people other than my wife though. I think thats why My channel is so important to me. I've made lots of freinds,but digitally.
*Charles managed to take a hostage inside a PRISON howww?*
According to the movie, one was a librarian (I think...) when he was dropping off a new book and the second one was the art teacher. It's a very interesting movie.
Oh, Charlie managed to take MANY hostages while in prison. He loves his hostage taking.
gimme my phone, a charger and wifi and I’ll be good 😂
Thats what you think but people still go insane such as students who are over a week in their room / kitchen doing nothing, not going out and not even watching outside the window.
During my years locked up i made plenty of trips to "the hole". Longest stay was about 4 months. All in all it can be mentally rough. I had some hard times. Kept up regular exercises. i read a lot of quality non-fiction and the Classics. Wrote how to book + business plan that i eventually followed years later. In the end, I came out stronger for sure.
7 R's: 01. Rescheduling: Learn how to manage time; don't look at the 20 years you need to serve, take it day by day and have plans for those days. 02.Removal: Remove yourself from the 4 walls, stay active to try to ignore and remove yourself from those 4 walls. 03.Reduction: Reduce the time by drug use… not the most convenient but it can help to "short" the time in the box. 04.Reorientation: Meditate, forget the past and the future and just live in the present. 05. Resistance: Find ways to fight the system, study law and challenge the system. 06.Raptness: Become completely absorbed in something such as writing or something, become lost in your art. 07.Reinterpretation: Re-frame the situation to others who've had it worse.
I would rather be strapped to a chair blindfolded for 24 hours a day listening to its everyday bro than solitary confiment
It's interesting how intense we are constantely surrounded by entertainment and the freedom to choose what we want which is sensory overload and that is not always pleasant, ironically. When we miss an episode on Netflix or can't use the internet for some time because of connectivity problems, it can make us very unhappy. I think we can learn much of those people and the situation of solitude with no freedom or personal property, something that most of us can't even apprehend how impossible such a life would be.
I was wrongly accused and spent some 24 hours on a 3rd world prison cell... cold, nothing to read nor eat for the most part, no water either. no communication... i paced my cell repeating psalms, i did some excesice, and acted out scenarios ... 24 hours that felt like an eternity, then i spent 24 hrs with other inmates, still sucked tho.
I was in solitary in 62 days, but this was in norway prision, we are lucky to Get a TV, that helped me alot
I’ll be fine if there’s wifi
But no mobile or laptop or pc?
I know I just need A Xbox
Easier said than done
@1:23 >Thomas Edward "Silverstein" >"""Aryan""" Brotherhood leader LMFAO
I had an abuse upbringing that mirrors solitary confinement in many ways, and it's awkward how much of the behaviors described in this (like controlling what you eat) fit me. I pretty much did the "7 Rs" except for the drug use.
Deep video I had no idea. Hope to never be in ‘this situation be great info none the less.
There is a difference between solitary confinement (as a punishment) and solitary confinement (as protection AKA SNU or special needs unit). The punishment is a bare room and is designed as psychological punishment. However pedophiles and arrested cops and serial killers are confined into solitary cells that have books and the prisoner has the ability to write. One is punishment the other isnt.
TheTiminator Because they know some prisoners would get their asses pulverized.
It probably wouldn't be too different from my current life.
Make more content like this (prisons, criminals etc), we all like it!
best way would be to do a hobby like as you said alot of reading, exercise, music or arts i would do arts as i used to draw
really doesnt need a 10 mimute stretched video just for the ad revs... quite self explanatory why someone left in a box with no windows and no one to talk to, to go crazy.
As an introvert, my whole life is like solitary confinement.
Imagination is a powerful gift.
Social media, music made me less lonely. 😊
Whats worse is being in a room full of people and feeling alone!
Hope all is well, there are people that care about you
its better then being around braindead people who mimic as if they caring
The only way I can see myself getting through it is by reading ALOT. I would need my bibles, a lot of Christian books amd really interesting novels
I did this to myself in my house I intended that boredom leads to finding what I want, and to avoid overstimulation I let myself left with my mind. I started to have hallucinations and got disassociation disorder Your mind either can be your friend or your worst enemy
I love solitary classic game
