I never said it was a choice, evidently they lost their freedom for being very real dangers to society (and because ostracizing these folks is no longer in fashion, I guess). I said they can use that moment to reflect, make the best of it and all. And whilst you're right, solitude in jail is rare, they'd still have fewer distractions whilst incarcerated which would in turn allow for moments of reflection, right? I assume being bored/underestimulated is just the default in prison, and that tells me there's a lot of time they could spend in deep thought... but do correct me if I'm wrong, I don't have any experience and very little knowledge regarding prison.
