If he is well behaved, he could eventually be allowed to have a black-and-white television in his cell that plays, on closed circuit, religious programs, psychological help tapes or educational shows. His toilet can flush only a certain number of times an hour so he can't flood his room to get the guard's attention. For the same reason, his shower will run only for a short period of time...
