Although the inmates are isolated in gloomy one-man cells the size of a small bathroom at least 23 hours a day, their chambers aren't soundproof. In fact, the prison is noisy. Rudolph's housing unit resonates with the constant mechanical whir and clank of electronic gates, punctuated by the sound of inmates praying, wailing and shouting conversations in English and Arabic through the walls and vents between their cells...
...suites, hammam-style steam rooms, aromatherapy "experience showers" and the rest.

The "forced desynchrony" was intended to throw the body's 24-hour clock out of whack, according to the study's lead author, James Wyatt, while mimicking the off-hour sleep-wake cycle that shift workers and jet-lagged travelers often struggle with. Every "night" of the study...
...testimony from department chairs and senior faculty members, and then continuing in a private session during which Summers asks committee members their opinions about the candidate and his field.“When you’re waiting to come in to testify, it’s not soundproof very well, so you’re listening to people yelling at each other,” says Lisa L. Martin, who is Dillon professor of international affairs and senior adviser to the dean on faculty diversity. “You’re cooling your heels while they?...
