The New York City Council is expected to approve a bill to ban solitary confinement this week over the objections of Mayor Eric Adams, who may veto it.
No cot. They often aren’t given one. Or even a blanket. And leave the light on 24/7. And hear the voices of people screaming through the air vents, desperate for human contact. Yeah, sounds like a great escape for a parent rather than just parenting your kids.
I had to leave my phone for 6 hours to get the battery changed and was twitchy the entire time. Not because I needed it, but because most of my “waste time” stuff was on it. I used to carry paperback books for instance, now ebooks. I can imagine it’s torture, as I get bored easily and in situations where “nothing” is happening I really want to start reading something… No one I know likes to just sit, even around other people (heck, it’s hard to get them to talk to other people) without scrolling on their phones. And I’m guilty too - I have no interest to sit watching other people play on their phones or eat silently…
Lock yourself in the bathroom with a cot and no phone for a week. Let us know how long you last.
