Is it as scary as it seems on tv?

TV tends to pick the most extreme situation that could happen.

TV tends to pick the most extreme situation that could happen. If they were to film a day in a jail, it would put you to sleep. Nothing really goes on... it's wake up, eat, clean your cell, watch tv, eat again, watch tv, play cards, read a book, read a magazine, play basketball, do puzzles, eat a third time, watch tv - read - play chess, go to bed.
Tomorrow and tomorrow are all the same... like the movie Groundhog Day. Gotta figure out how to deal with the boredom
