Would you be willing to spend 2 years in solitary confinement for $22 million?

A man was awarded $22 million dollars after he was put in solitary confinement for 2 years:
http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/26/10243856-letters-from-solitary-confinement-reveal-dwi-mans-despair
For reference, solitary confinement usually consists of being locked up in your cell 23 hours of the day, with that 1 hour being moved to the "solitary exercise room". No books, no tv, no windows ... just a bed, toilet, 3 meals a day.

If I could have books I would definitely do it.
Without anything at all? I dunno. I'd have to think about it some more.

Sure. I could use the time to sleep and get away from all the crap my friends and family drop on me constantly.
Hell, two years isn't much time at all. I've spent almost that much time living alone and staring at the walls on my own...and had to pay to keep the damn heat and lights on while doing it.

Sure they do.
They call it being a "shut in" and they sometimes wait decades for the old geezer to finally give up and croak. Sometimes the geezer fools them though, and creates amazing magical inventions during his confinement.
At least that's what I keep telling myself. C'mon and start working damn spatula of star snuffing and stripper teleporting!

Before I had my kid? Yup. Past history shows I can probably live a rich enough fantasy life that afterwards, I could write a couple books, gaming modules, etc for years based on the ground work I'd have laid in there.
Now that I've had my kid and he's old enough to remember me? Not likely.

Define solitary... how little contact with even guards, do you get books or writing material...
as long as you have some contact and something to read or write... I could do it, otherwise welcome to heavy meds and a padded room when you get out.

No, it isn't worth it personally.
It would fundamentally change me as a person. I also doubt my sanity would survive.
I like me. No price is worth changing for. Imo.

Wait till they get a little older, then their existence will be one of the main reasons 2 years locked away starts to look attractive.

There's no way in hell. Those guys are seriously fucked up for the rest of their lives usually. I think 24% or a number aground there develop mental illness in the first 6 months.
They can tack on months and years to your sentence just for refusing to obey a command, and you will disobey at one point.
It dehumanizes you. You turn into a rabid animal. I don't think animals care about money.
Especially with no books, hell no.

I'm an incredibly solitary person normally. I once spent 5 months in my house with no tv, internet, or books, just hanging out and thinking. Made up this thing where I tried to visualize my perfect place, the house that I would like in the location I would like with the things I would like most in the house...then made lists of the things I constantly came back too. Took me hours a day and was quite enjoyable. Would have been longer but friends got worried and called the police and I had them break in and then I had to prove I wasn't suicidal or critically depressed.
I wasn't. Just thinking and enjoying the peace and friggen quiet.

mod yeah.
come out ripped and rich.
since you'd go in knowing the obstacles you'd be facing it would be a great way to discipline your mind too.
if i worked until im 55 before i retired 5 days a week, 8 hours a day all year that would be 6.88 years of time spent at work and i might not make 22 million. get it all out of the way in one go.

It would be easier to face knowing that there is that two year limitation and that every minute earns you twenty bucks.
Still would suck though. I would do it because of current family circumstance, but otherwise no.
