    When it comes to US prisons I’d do the same as a cisgendered person. Fuck that whole prison hierarchy & power play shit. I’m pretty good being all by myself.

        I think they are, but i suppose they had just the solitary “be alone” aspect of this in mind and not really solitary in a prison context. I mean, i would detest having to survive in a prison hierarchy, but solitary? No way, no one would really.

          Yeah, it just seems rather dismissive of the serious issues caused by prolonged solitary confinement

        Yes. I’m already terrible in handling people, let alone a bunch of dumbass criminals who think their life will be prison anyway. I’d be probably dead within a few weeks because I looked the wrong way at someone or because I refused to become someones personal bitch.

          I feel like you might be basing your notion of prison on popular media portrayals. They aren’t going to shank you that easily. I think you’re also downplaying the horrors of solitary confinement.

          Solitary confinement is not a good place to be even if you aren’t an extrovert. Prolonged solitary confinement is an inhumane practice. Plus people in prison aren’t all trying to kill each other. As long as you treat others with basic respect you’d do fine.
