Fatty imagined it for a moment and exclaimed, "Damn, that harsh?"
The Doctor interjected, "Yeah, last time a guy from our prison who argued with the guards got locked up. By the time he was let out, he had already gone mad. That place, the longer you lie down, the more you want to stand up, but the ceiling is sealed tight, there's no light or sound around, it's no wonder people go crazy!"
Fatty shook his head. This is the difference between the Imperial Countries and the Federation. The benefits of democracy shine through even in these places. Although Federation Prisons also have their share of the strong preying on the weak or severe punishments, if there was ever such solitary confinement, it would have been exposed long ago. At that point, no one could resist public opinion. The officials in charge of the judicial department and the prison system would have no choice but to resign.
