Do inmates experience boredom in jail? Can you provide an example of something an inmate might do for fun if they were bored?

The perpetually tired don't think straight.

Has anyone ever had sex with their cousin? How did it start, and would you do it again?

Take a bunch of prisoners, lock them in a pen, make them as uncomfortable as possible and feed them shitty food, and if you're VERY VERY lucky, they'll only manage to take it out on each other.
