I've never been to prison myself but did do 30 days in a county jail and doing those 30 days in a county jail for a minor offense was enough to convince me to never want to go back to jail or land in prison.

keep in mind that jail and prison differs and you do get a bit more freedom in prisons than you do in jail but still a person is locked up and sometimes they cannot leave their prison cell if there's a lock down or something.

And I imagine that for those that are in Solitary confinement those people are really bored. I could not handle being locked in a cell for 24 hours per day for years with nothing to do to keep me occupied.

Some prisoners however do get to go outside in a fenced off recreation yard which keeps them from being so bored and some get on work programs where the prisoners do jobs inside the prison.
