I wonder if the nearly unlimited free-time they have will offset their lack of internet access when it comes to learning speed.

I'm not sure 'free-time' is what I'd call it. More like trapped-time.
The time is free. The prisoner is not.
But you aren't free to do what you want. You are very constrained.

You could do what Nick Yarris did and read thousands of books. I suppose you can let your mind adventure a little. Just seems so ironic calling it free time.

Perhaps 'unallocated' is a better word?

That's what free time already means.
