Redundant,....Does it come to anyones suprise really that the reality of solitary confinement is just that?. Sad but true!. To get there you had to have earned it!. It doesn't come by being a good overall law abiding citizen. It is meant to be what it is....Do what you must do to never end up in that hell. Solid!.......

But you can tell which comments are from Guardian readers. 'Powerful', 'evocative', 'devastating'? This is not an opera, but a brief insight into what it's like for a pretty serious criminal to live here. Oh do I detest liberalism. Criminals deserve to be punished.

Politics aside, this is a solid if early attempt at taking VR beyond mere entertainment. Moreover, in and by itself the piece is quite apolitical, although it may be hard not to come to some conclusions. Also, this probably should be shown to first-time offenders, just to suggest what may happen if they choose a life of crime.

The Guardian was the best newspaper in the world in my estimation but garnering sympathy for murderers, rapists, and thieves is part of a corrupt uneducated liberal agenda of pure insanity. Liberal ideology is fine and desperately needed in todays climate but a lot of it has run amock. IMO criminals should be shot dead. no sympathy. The Guardian will result in a poisonous idealogy empowering both local and foreign terrorists and criminals.

There's no way to really capture the sense of dread you'd get from this type of torture if you can quit at any time, but this brings awareness to an important issue, and I want to thank the developers for making it.

I mean their IT products are really solid. For this app: the cinematography I'd say isn't the best, but the VR quality is good.
