The Internets: Watch People in Solitary Confinement



To promote its upcoming special, Solitary Confinement, National Geographic put three volunteers (James, Laura and Rick) in solitary confinement. No sunlight, no TV, no contact with the outside world. They put a camera in each 8x8 foot cell so you can watch them at any time. No, you can't see the shower or toilet. But you can see how they try to pass the time and stave off insanity.

Currently, James is laying in bed awake, Laura is trying to teach herself how to juggle, and Rick is drawing.

If you're a voyeur, like myself, you'll probably find this strangely compelling.
