life in the db

anione knows?

Had to go there twice to interview a detainee for a court-martial. From the limited exposure then, I gathered its not a real pleasant place to be in. The general feeling is, whatever you do, don't ever land there.

Well its prison so obviously life in there is gonna be crappy. If life in there is pretty enjoyable then where's the deterence effect?

DB is like prison but army style.
if u first time go in, do a lot of exercise sandbag pt all that.
if long term detainee, most of the time just lock up in the cell with 2 other ppl. eat sleep sh*t inside. only those abt to release can watch tv. or else can read or draw.
cell is like prison one. at night sleep on the floor with straw mat.
u hv to call everyone sir, even non officer. everywhere got yellow line must ask permission then can cross. -
life in DB is very "Healthy"..those who goes in..come out cfm damn fit..
but when u ask them wats the reason they go DB..9 out of 10 will give u stupid reason..those offence that can be prevented easily.. -
Wow, you guys have short memories. The Straits Times did a photojournalism spread on DB life fairly recently (either this year or last year).

Think you mean "Conscientious Objectors", who may also include non-JW ppl.Originally posted by RaTtY81:think they r called jenovah's witness..

Jehovah's Witnesses are ppl who practice a "deviant form of Christianity" who refuse to perform any military service, salute the flag, or swear oaths of allegiance to the State. In 1972 the Government deregistered and banned the Singapore 'Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses' on the grounds that its existence is prejudicial to public welfare and order. At the time, there were approximately 200 Jehovah's Witnesses in Singapore; now there are approximately 2,000.
Singapore does not recognise the right of "Conscientious Objectors" not to serve NS, like in Germany. Objectors are court-martialled and sentenced to 12 months in military detention. They are then called up again and non-compliance results in further 24-month sentences. Differ from Detainees, they wear white Tee and PT shorts etc. and do General Duty work for their term instead of harsher DB. -

TIME OUT: Troublemakers face solitary confinement in a 1.5m by 3m cell without windows. For three days, the detainee will eat and sleep here, forego showers and do his daily business in two pots.
Very harsh and restricted leh, will go crazy or not.? -
There are 2 types of people in DB: Detainee and SUS. Detainee is for minor offenses, SUS for Serious Offenses.
DETAINEE: Don't Enter The Army If Not Enough Experience
SUS: Singapore Universal Soldier
As the name imply, those SUS damn super fit. Personally witness one do 1000 push up in a go. -
omg 1k push ups... damn fit... lol.Originally posted by jarrodlim76:There are 2 types of people in DB: Detainee and SUS. Detainee is for minor offenses, SUS for Serious Offenses.
