If you had to do some prison time would you rather go through it being around the other inmates or be in solitary for the whole sentence?

Honestly I prefer a two-man cell. It is much easier time than day room time and it's quieter. True enough if you get a fucked up cellmate it can be a long stretch but however if you get a good roomie that you're cool with that time goes fast

Solitary, so I could meditate.

If solitary included TV and the internet then, by all means, solitary.
