I got a lot of torture during quarantine. And... by choice, pretty frequently.

Using that definition muddies the definition a lot.

4 years is definitely cruel and unusual imo. 15 days is whatever.

I just think they should have soft things and light etc in their cell if we're going to continue using that. A comfortable place.

You were not confined. At any time you were free to leave what ever constraints you placed on yourself. Moreover, your place of self-isolation was not deliberately stripped of sensory opportunities.

Did you stay in a dark, cramped, windowless room for months? It's pretty insulting to think that lockdown is anywhere near being stuck in a 2m x 2m space for months...

Holy moly. I hope this is some dry jesting. Comparing living freely in a home of some kind. Even a car. Comparing it to solitary confinement is so wrong.

I thought at first you were mocking everyone acting like stay in orders were any thing like solitary confinement. But your last paragraph throws that notion off.
