re: if you went to prison, would you want cell block or segregation?

You would probably go nuts from being alone.
From what I understand it's not as bad as TV and movies make it seem.

You get money and you can buy stuff like headphones and books and food. You may even get a cell TV.
Generally non violent offenders are kept away from gen pop maximum security. Think "Oz" remember they had 'levels' inside the prison?

OPP which is just a jail, has a reputation of being more dangerous right now, than Hunt or even Angola.
(Angola actually has a no BS warden and is well run with little incidents......reported)
