Have you seen Louis Theroux's documentary on the Florida super prisons? It's 24 people to a cell and there's a violent culture of punishment and retribution within the inmates. It was fascinating.

One criminal told Louis that he would have taken his shoes if he himself was an inmate and that he would have had to fight for them and to be allowed to stay in there.

There's that phrase log cabining or wood cabining describing where you just remove yourself from society to do something creative, it's an urge we all have.
