6x9

6 × 9 feet – the dimensions of a grey room with a bed, toilet, and a door with an opening through which meals are served; the size of the living space of over 80,000 American prisoners. Virtual reality allows us to experience total isolation for a few minutes and discover the depressing feelings associated with enforced solitude, which may have permanent psychological effects. Prisoners often suffer from hallucinations, paranoia, and loss of identity. Details of jail cells, indistinct sounds from behind metal doors, and graphic testimonies tell of the daily reality of prisoners in the USA. (One World)
