Doing Time describes what day to day prison life is like. This poignant portrayal of incarceration begins with a letter emphasizing the frantic stifling feeling of being caged in - there's no way out! The prisoner feels depression and deep regret for wasting his life for so long. He aches for his family. The lack of privacy in prison life is described - every intimate detail of an inmate's life is exposed to scrutiny, both from the guards and from the other inmates - there are cameras everywhere.
