[@SanjiEastBlue]

This guy reminds me of Yoshie Shiratori, another Japanese convict who escaped from prison with the most ingenious methods. I'd say that some prisoners escape not because of prison itself, but to make a statement of the quality of the justice system or how they're treated. Seriously, to put someone in a max-security prison with 23h of solitary confinement is just way too much, especially for someone who never committed a violent crime.

[@TrivoniaNephthys-zu9wy]

being in a solitary in 23h is like death penalty. imagine going out for just one hour everyday and you're not doing something. this is applicable only to does people who commit serious crime and i felt bad to does people who put on a maximum prison without doing anything. if i will be place in a maximum prison 23h a day in solitary without anyone who can talk. That's why the people on a maximum prison is the hardest people and scary people you will encounter because they have nothing to loss either they will die or they will try to scape no matter what.
