In Alladapon I was more like, is more or less like a prison again. Because that place you are not allowed to use your phone and then you are locked in the cell. Unless you want to go to the toilet you have to shout and call the officer on duty before they will come and open for you. Because in the room, in the cell you had there is no bathroom, in the cell, there is nothing. In the cell, you have to sometimes, if you call the police, some of the police officers, there are so... let me say, arrogant. They will not even mind, their mind will be on their phones. So, you have to, like, suffer. Sometimes you have to look for a bottle and then pee inside.
