When we talk about confinement, I have to tell you a little bit more about confinement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoConfinement is not a simple punishment, it can even be said that it is a kind of capital punishment? I think it does deserve that title.

This method of punishing prisoners flourished in the eighteenth century in the western United States, when it was still in the pioneer era. Back then, no one was going to waste time on terms like "prison science" or "rehabilitation" and "selective cognition," and it was a black-and-white age where you were either innocent or guilty. If he is guilty, he will either be hanged or imprisoned.

At that time, the conditions were not like now, and if you were sentenced to prison, there would be no prison for you to live in. Some state governments in the western United States will give you a hoe and ask you to dig a hole for yourself from sunrise to sunset in their walled prison blocks. Then they will throw you a few hides and a bucket of water and tell you to lie down in the hole you dug yourself. When you go down, the jailer will cover the hole with an iron grate and throw in some grain, or give you a piece or two of meat a week, and maybe a little barley porridge to eat on Sunday night. You urinate in a bucket, and the jailer comes every morning at six o'clock to pour water, and you take the same bucket to get water. When it rains, you can also use this bucket to scoop the rainwater out of the hole...... Unless you want to drown in a hole like a mouse.

No one stays in such a hole for long, and of course, many have tried to dig tunnels to get out of their prison area, but everyone except a few lucky ones have been discovered while digging them - the little cave on your side is so small that the jailer can tell at a glance whether you are digging a tunnel or not.

As for why some lucky ones escaped? They are not only lucky, their patience and perseverance are beyond ordinary people's imagination. You can't trust anyone who can do any of these things - tear their own hides, cover them with dug holes, and be careful to camouflage them every day (gently sweep away the dust and make it look like it normally doesn't matter). Also, sprinkle the soil you dug evenly over your bedroom to keep it from being discovered by the shrewd jailers.

The most difficult thing, and the one where most people fall here - is the unbearable distance - you don't know when you dug up this walled area, and even if you dig it out of the right direction, there is a guy who has been digging for six or seven years, and he finds that he is actually going around the walled area, and it is not easy to identify the environment in the dark earth. If it rains, the tunnels you'll be digging will become very wet, allowing you to harvest mud at the end of the day. If it's raining heavily, it can even collapse in tunnels - if you don't build it strong and safe enough, if it does, everything you've done before will be undone.

However, most of the prisoners endured the painful life in the pit peacefully. If a prisoner can stay for thirty months without mental problems, then he is already very powerful. As far as I know, the one who survived the longest in such pits was a fourteen-year-old psychopath who later chopped up the lifeblood of his classmate with a rusty piece of metal. He's been in the cave for seven years, but I think it has something to do with his mental condition.

What kind of prisoners would have been sent to such a pit prison at that time? You just have to remember that at that time, anyone who commits a crime more serious than stealing, blasphemy, or forgetting to blow your nose with a handkerchief when you go out on the Sabbath can be sentenced to death by hanging. As for the punishment for these offences and other misdemeanors, they are to be locked up in such a hole for three to six months or nine months. By the time you come out, you'll be as white as a fish's belly, your eyes half-blind, your teeth shaky, and your feet covered in fungus.

Zero spent twenty days in the confinement cell, the first time in his life, and what he considered to be the last time in his life, that he never wanted to go to that kind of hellish place again, it was just a place to destroy people. If there's one thing that does it to stay in confinement, it's that you have plenty of time to think - it's very quiet, and no one disturbs you except for the occasional guard who comes to bring bread and water. Zero spent twenty days enjoying bread and water, and thought about it. By the time he came out again, he had made a near-perfect plan and quickly put it into practice.

During the time that Zero was in confinement, everyone in the prison went about their normal lives, and the fact that a new inmate was locked up in the confinement cell was just an insignificant matter to them. There was only one person whose life had changed significantly, and that guy was the same young man from before, and he was given a bad nickname by Zero after he came out of confinement - Mir Rat.

The young man's real name was Mir Oak, and God knows why Zero had the whim to call him Mir Rat. Maybe it's just because Zero caught a mouse in the confinement room and chatted, and he didn't get used to it when he came out. However, he gladly accepted it, believing that only acquaintances would have nicknames, and Zero was just a friendly name for him among friends.

Mirrat was pleased with the changes brought about by Zero, and he easily destroyed the "Four Sisters" by himself, and made all the sisters in the Morey Municipal Prison much more restrained, and they no longer took the initiative to trouble anyone, although it may only be temporary. They are like a strong wind blowing in summer, although they blow wildly, they are all bluffing. You could say that the hard-line "sisters" have become weak.

Originally, the four sisters were likely to plunge the Mir Rat into the abyss of inferiority and never climb out. Of course, the sisters don't particularly like guys like Mir Rat who fight hard every time, after all, jackals still prefer easy prey, and in this prison, there are more prey that are easier to get started than Mir Mouse. I guess Mir Rat fought back just to prove that he wasn't a soft persimmon to mess with, and he probably knew that if they were easy to get started once, they would never be at peace.

Either way, Mir Rat was relieved now, at least he wouldn't be humiliated by the "sisters", and he could enjoy a rare moment of peace. In fact, the trouble didn't end there, and soon the model prisoners from the Fourth Ward got Mill Rat into trouble again. (To be continued.) )
