“The best thing about being in prison was a feeling of relief. The feeling that he'd plunged as low as he could plunge and he'd hit bottom. He didn't worry that the man was going to get him, because the man had got him. He was no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, because yesterday had brought it.”

I think this quote works well for this episode of DS9. All of O'Brien's friends are worried about him and want to help, and although he keeps pushing them away, Bashir, his best friend, is there at the end to save him.

This has been on my TBR for far, far too long. It discusses how felons have basic rights taken away from them, even after they‘ve finished serving #HardTime.
In the episode, O‘Brien has memories of a 20 year prison sentence implanted in his head after an alien race convicts him of a crime. It‘s a hard episode for me to watch. It shows the devastating effects of incarceration on the psyche. #StarTrekSummerJune
DS9 4.19 #HardTime Let's torture Miles O'Brien again! A favourite of mine, a gut wrenching episode on the real trauma of incarceration, but it sadly stands alone and is never heard of again. Depression should not solved in between episodes. Fear not, though, he'll be tortured again soon. This epi, along with TNG's Chain of Command, are perfect examples to teach how torture affects humans. #startreksummerjune
