Isolation Detention

A type of school detention that is much worse than regular detention. I have gotten this before, so let me explain what it's like. This only exists in certain schools btw.

Isolation Detention is basically like being locked in a small room with nothing but a chair or desk. The walls are completely white, but the floor would usually be tiled or carpet. You'd basically be locked in there until the principal says you can leave. It's dead silent, and you only hear the school board talking outside (depends on where the room is located) and yourself breathing. The room feels like solitary confinement, and the only way you could get this punishment is committing theft on school property or something similar.
I got isolation detention for stealing 3 computers and a girl's phone. You don't want to end up like me.

Dulles Detention Zone

Dulles Detention Zone (noun):

A soulless, fluorescent-lit purgatory where hope goes to die, tucked in the ass-end of an airport, reserved for the poor bastards flying commuter jets. A liminal space of broken spirits, where passengers—having paid top dollar—are herded like livestock into overcrowded, makeshift waiting pens with no amenities, no dignity, and no god. Delays stretch into eternity, announcements are cryptic riddles, and the only certainty is that you are not leaving anytime soon. See also: air travel purgatory, despair terminal, capitalist cattle stall
I was flying United, and they could not find a crew for the community flight on the last leg of the trip so I ended up in the Dulles Detention Zone

detention

a school punishment, whereby a student is detained for a certain period of time. in detention, you might write lines, clear gum from under the table, read, write an essay, or stare out of the window whilst regretting what you had done to get detention in the first place. why might i get detention? cheating, talking, laughing, chewing gum, eating in class, throwing things around the room etc.
