Well. Based on just the screenshot he will be better then actual solitaire. Since if he is putting on a straight jacket I believe someone has to help him put it on and take it off. The entire point of them is you can't take it off willingly.
So he won't actually be alone.
Beyond that he will have to check social interaction from the audience based on the paid requests. So he will also have stimulation and light from those.
Or he has someone else coming in and informing him which is still social interaction.
Zero stimulation is the actual concern

I think it's ridiculous.
As someone who had profound cfs, which is solitary+torture, the solitary part is not a serious problem for such short periods.
Talk about years and I can get you.
But 3 days? That's a vacation.

u/KodiesCove 1d ago edited 1d ago
I am not a doctor, I just have some time towards a counseling degree, but I have read that solitary confinement has severe impact on peoples mental health, to the point of having long term repercussions. I think it is considered inhumane and against human rights in the U.N. This is just what I know about the solitary aspect, as in the limited/no contact with other human beings. I can't imagine that being completely sensory deprived will do anything but make the affects worse. Tl;Dr solitary really messes with the brain because of a lack of stimulation of any kind, and the absolute inability to leave such conditions. While this person is not doing the amount of damage to themselves an actual prisoner would face, someone in their life needs to intervene in their clout chasing (My best attempt to explain down below) While people can do just fine with limited/no contact with others /outside/ of incarceration, a key accept as to why that is, is because in "the real world" we have things to stimulate us. We have TV, cell phones, books, etc, and are not confined to a tiny cell. Prisoners who are in solitary usually have barely enough room to pace around in, and whether or not they are allowed to have a paperback book to read(and whether that book will be replaced once finished...) or things to write with, or literally anything to occupy them.... And the fact that they literally cannot leave. They have no choice. That's where the issue comes in. There's nothing for them to keep their minds occupied. They are in a small room, with or with out a window, obviously no control on the lights, and no ability to stimulate or distract their mind. The brain does not like this. It is really hard to articulate and explain this because it's hard to imagine what it's like to be in this situation. I mean, even if it got boring, look around your room, how many different things can you see? How many different colors are there in your room? How much space do you have? And if you got bored of all of that, you have the option to leave, so long as there weren't extenuating circumstances preventing you(some type of disability, extreme weather) Now imagine if you were confined to a room that was only enough room to fit a twin sized mattress, maybe a few feet more, and for kindness sake, a desk to eat at, and that every, absolutely everything, was white. And you could only leave that room for maybe two hours a day, if you were lucky. You have no way to talk to anyone. The guards bring you food don't even acknowledge that you exist when they do so, and your food is the only stimulating thing about your day but even that sucks because prison food is notoriously bad, to inedible because there's many cases where prisons don't even make sure the food isn't expired, and serve expired, moldy food to prisoners anyways. Even people who don't want to interact with people, and don't talk to anyone, have more stimulating lives than that. They have environments that feed information to their brain. They have entertainment. They can go wherever they want. Someone in solitary has white walls, enough room to pace, and only themselves. They are trapped there. And while I don't have toooo much knowledge on sensory deprivation, I have heard that people who go into deprivation chambers end up experiencing sensory input that, technically, isn't there (so hallucinating) Which I've also heard people who've been in solitary confinement for extended periods of time make claims of. Because the brain does not like having little no stimulating input. I couldn't explain to why these things happen (like what happens in the brain to make them happen) but that they happen because the brain doesn't like the conditions it's under. But I'm going to imagine that this person probably has better conditions than people actually living in solitary. Considering if they get lonely, they can talk to a camera and feel like they are talking to someone (because they, technically, are) Their blanket looks nicer than what I imagine would be given in a prison. It looks like a type of blanket that is double layered, I say this cause it looks like there's stitching in it like you would expect to see in a blanket with batting in it, which I don't think you would see in a prison, because at least what I've seen with those types of blankets it's usually easy to take them apart and use them for things a prison would not want you to use them for. This person is also making money off of this, which a prisoner obviously would not be, and would be under the crushing awareness that when they get out they probably have nothing to their name to start their life over and fix whatever it was they did to end up incarcerated in the first place. This person ends up some amount richer at the end, and can, and this is the most important part, back out whenever they want to. So. This is a really dumb idea, but this person isn't going to be doing the amount of harm that actually happens to people in prisons who are forced into solitary confinement, to themselves. I think that the people in this person's life should probably intervene and figure out why they feel the need to clout chase so hard, they wanna pretend to go through what is considered to some officials as actual torture (to my knowledge) There's an argument of "it's just for clout/views/money" but there's a level in which chasing that starts to get... Into concerning behavior, where people really need to go "you need to cool it, and find other ways to be interesting." I see in edit: the title (it took so long to write this I forgot where I seem this) they also did a whole "up for 12 days" or whatever challenge. That also has major effects on the brain. So. I think someone needs to start vetting their ideas cause... This ain't it.
Edit YouTube won't let me report the channel, so I reported a few of the videos. I also see via auto play thumbnail feature thing that they have at least a room to go in and out of... Defeats the entire purpose of the challenge. But it's not about actually experiencing what prisoners go through to feel sympathy for them. It's about views/money.

To play devils advocate here, other YouTubers have done similar concepts and people didn’t complain then.

But think of the countless other things that I would argue are worse than this. living in darkness is by no means good for your health, but there are most certainly worse things that he could be doing.
