Prison is a punishment. You’re sentenced to however long is decided for you, and you sit in a concrete cell for years, forced to think about your wrongdoings. This is why prison is dreaded by all. It’s solitary confinement, crappy food, forced labor, and most of all, boredom. What’s the worst about prison is you have to sit there through it all. Your communication with the outside world is extremely limited, your loved ones are dearly missed, and you know that you’re missing out on life. Ex-cons come out of prison different men, broken men, mostly with changed attitudes or at least some painful memories of a fellow inmate’s aggression.
The freezer is nothing like this. Metcalf was put in the freezer for his unwillingness to drop the Stanhunt murder case. He spent 6 years in the freezer, for which all of this he has no recollection. He thaws out, checks out his surroundings, and figures he’s going in because of his zero recollection of the whole entire punishment.. His memory is blank for 6 years. He experiences zero consciousness for 6 whole years. He emerges with the case fresh on his brain, like the 6 years never even occurred. This, to me, defeats the purpose of prison. There is hardly any punishment served. It’s a long sleep. The central government dishes out such mild punishment, it’s baffling.
