How I survived a year in ‘the hole’ without losing my mind
Yikes. Here&#x27;s a totally contrary opinion from someone who has also been to AggSeg -<p>AggSeg is the VERY BEST place you can be in jail or prison. I spent almost a year in AggSeg and it is lovely.<p>- It&#x27;s &quot;single cell&quot; meaning you don&#x27;t have to live in close quarters with a random criminal.<p>- You don&#x27;t have to socialize with random criminals during your free time, so you don&#x27;t have to worry about the constant violence and rudeness you find in General Population.<p>Other than that, just read books, work out, and sleep. They bring you food 3 times a day. Honestly I would pay for this. There is nothing difficult or badass about it at all. Surviving in general population, <i>that&#x27;s actually difficult</i>.<p>Everyone who wants to it sound like &quot;THE HOLE&quot; is just being dramatic. They are also playing into the corrections industry propaganda about the matter: The industry wants people to think of this setup as awful and barely-legal because the reality is that <i>all inmates would prefer to be housed in a cell to themselves</i> and be <i>guaranteed to not encounter violence in the yard</i>, but it would cost 2-3x as much to provide this type of housing to the entire population.
