After being locked up in prison for a long time, you will become numb, but some people still have consciences and will feel guilty for what they have done, but some people will not feel any guilt at all.
Even prisoners in prison still have a sense of self-respect, but not everyone is willing to be arbitrarily insulted. If they are scolded, they will respond without politeness.
The House of Death is indeed a House of Death. It is different from other places. The prisoners who are locked up can judge how many days have passed every day by making marks with wooden sticks. At the same time, they can mentally judge how long they have before they can leave.
