ChewyGazelle68623, How awful. just the thought of being in one of those places makes me feel claustrophobic, just imagine never seeing the light of day, mind you, some of today's criminals could do with experiencing treatment like that, I'm sure they would never re offend again

...I was wondering what that thing the motorcycle gang in 'Breaking Bad' jailed Jesse in was called...

Player #96919, except the person was “forgotten” - they never left the dungeon, thus no chance to re-offend. The oubliette was constructed so the person could not lie or in some, even turn around, like the one in the dungeon of Warwick Castle.
