being confined to a certain area that usually smells like the combo of piss, shit, feet, ass, nuts, body odor, lysol, and mildew for a preset or indefinite amount of time.

Characteristics include a 64 sq ft room with a sliding door that contains several iron bars that is opened remotely. The room also contains a stainless shitter(def #2) that hasn't been cleaned since 1989 and a bed that probably has been urinated over and jacked off on 1000s of times.
