what is the process when you get put in the hole?? and how's it work

First, the inmate is taken into custody by the correctional officers with handcuffs. They are transported or walked to the area called the Special Housing Unit (SHU), what others call "the hole", also known as solitary confinement. Once there they are stripped-searched and given new clothing to wear. This is a special uniform for SHU inmates, usually an orage jumpsuit with lightweight blue sneakers. They are then walked shackled to their cell. It is usually a one-man cell. There, there are on 24 hour watch and locked down. They are allowed one 15-minute phone call per week and a very limited commissary menu if any at all. Two showers per week and two hours of recreation per week (which consists of literally being in a cage with access to sunlight. It is a concrete floor, concrete walls, and a ceiling made of some fencing - not much fun either). There is nothing to do, it is way worse that being in the regular crappy prison, but for inmates that cannot follow the rules of incarceration, they get treated like this. 

I was there for a short time, every minute felt like an hour. Not good.
