What would you do if you were placed in solitary confinement for a week?
I was brought to juvy a few months ago when I got in a fight with my dad, he beat the $#%^ out of me, however I was charged with assault and disorderly conduct.
Upon arrival a drill sargent pushed me up against the wall, his nose was touching mine and he screamed at the top of his lungs spitting on me, he told me I was about to go through hell, and basically said I am dirt to him. This was one of the only times I ever cried in front of someone outside of my family. All of the sudden it hit me that I was about to me alone for a long time, nothing but enemys, and people that hate me.
I was given 1 phone call to my parents, I told them I was gona kill my self as soon as I get the chance and said good bye... After that they took all my clothes and put me in a big green "pickle suit" this way i couldnt hurt my self.
I was put into solitary confinement for 48 hours, eventually i just sat there crying and punching the wall over and over. On the second day they took away the priveledge of laying down, when I would lay down they would pound on the door and scream at me.
I started to shut down, all emotion was gone but loneliness helplessness and anxiety. At the end of the 2nd day they moved me into a normal cell with bed sheets and everything, i got my clothes back also. (however I was still not allowed out of my cell) there were small holes under the top bed. I proceded to make a loop with the bedsheet and put it around my neck, just as I was getting it around my neck a corectional officer came by to check on me.
I sat there with the sheet around my neck and a smile on my face, at last they submited to me. They let me out of the cell into the lobby with everyone else, and gave me a book to read. So I sat there reading the book in the same chair for 8 hours until they finally let me shut down and go to sleep.
So this was pretty much the worst experience I've ever had in my life.
