There was no sense of time or space without the sun or any repetitive cycling of a central cooling system
Recently I was listening to a easily incredible story by a lady who was one of the Memphis Three. If you are not common with this tale, it’s the seriously sad account of how three impoverished boys in TN were wrongfully convicted of murdering many children. They were incarcerated for nearly 20 years without real evidence to back up their indictments before being released. The entire thing is seriously heartcutting, until you realize how strong it made some of these wrongful prisoners. These tortured women were subjected to years of isolation as they sat in prison. What was most disturbing to me was the thought of being locked in a tiny cell with easily no human contact or even an A/C system. Apparently, being an isolation means that you are also at the mercy of untreated indoor air. They put these poor souls in such exhausting residing conditions that there wasn’t so much as an air vent to supply its circulation or high-quality treated air. The rest of the prison population could at least count on an cooling system keeping them relatively cool and calm all morning. In isolation, however, they were not permitted the luxury of cool, dry air. They didn’t even have the form of an cooling system to keep them corporation. There was no sense of time or space without the sun or any repetitive cycling of a central cooling system. The lady said that these twenty years felt like a lifetime. I think I would feel the same if my A/C unit broke down for a single morning in my own household.
