Bathing is a very ordinary thing in life, but it is not an easy thing to do in prison, and it is unimaginable for people who have not experienced it.
Ordinary people take a bath can be said to be the most private time for a person, alone in the bathroom, while washing away the fatigue of the day, while thinking about life, or playing the upper body, interpreting the world of fine division, or singing the god of songs.
But taking a bath in prison, I'm afraid that there will be no such rich programs. Because the bathrooms in the prison are arranged in a group, the space is not large, but the number of people who use them at a time is very large, and more than a dozen people often wash together.
And bathing also needs to be supervised, and safety in prison is more important than anything else. What the inmates are doing in the bathroom is clear at a glance.
Many family members are concerned about the lives of inmates and want to know how they are doing inside, in fact, they can write letters and send photos online through the family mail applet.
The bath time is also very tight, usually you need to take a bath at a fixed time, and the general bath time is 20 minutes. But because of the large number of people, there is very little time for each person to share.
In addition, the water consumption is large in summer and the water resources are relatively tight, so when the prisoners take a bath, they must save water, otherwise they will be helpless if the water stops halfway through the bath.
In winter, prisons generally have hot water, but it is not as free as the use of hot water outside. After all, in prison, there are restrictions on doing anything, such as hot water, and you have to limit the use of it. Some prisons have a hot water card system, and inmates have to swipe the card to receive hot water.
Because bathing in prison is not comfortable, the first thing many inmates do after being released from prison is to go home and take a good bath, enjoying unlimited time, unlimited hot water, and no supervised bathing time.
After a long period of serving a prison sentence, I believe that the inmates will be able to cherish their freedom and live a down-to-earth life when they return.
