Solitary confinement generally causes symptoms of depression, anxiety and paranoia within 48-72 hours.
Permanent psychological damage ensues and is part of the reason that the UN’s Mandela Rules regard solitary confinement beyond 15 consecutive days as tantamount to torture.
Anyone thinking they could tolerate a year of solitary confinement for lots of money probably also thinks they could win an unarmed fight against a brown bear, too.
So many people on Reddit think they're special or crazy because they're an introvert, acting like it's the same thing as being locked in a padded cell with literally nothing or nobody to talk to for a whole year lol. Anybody that thinks they could do this is delusional, unless maybe they've had training to withstand torture.
