I'm kinda on risk for being put into one, so I kinda wanted to learn some stuff about how is it inside those. I think my biggest fear there is boredoom. Like, will I be able to videocall friends and/or listen to music there? Will my mp3 player/portable chinese retro emulator/phone/any eletronic be confiscated there?

My (former) friend got sent to one after a Suzie Side attempt. She had to spend about a week there and we visited. She seemed overall happy with how she was treated. They are very restrictive on what you can and can't have, and were very confused by the Junji Ito book I brought for her lol

Suzzie Side is a funny way to censor it.

Depends entirely on who you share a room with.

Sorry this doesn't answer the question, but I read this as 'hearing people's experiences', as in, "the experiences of people who can hear" and then that line about "listening to music" confused me because you'd seemed to imply you couldn't hear

Ah, English is not my native language, I do tend to confuse some gramatics and words.

Sorry for that in advance. Gonna edit the post to make it more understandeable.

I've never been to one, even though I should've probably been sent to one like 4 times at this point. I do however, know people that have been sent. It's not very fun. They confiscate all your stuff that you have on you, I believe. No access to your phone. It's boring, but you'll live. Making friends helps. Best of luck if you do get sent.
