I think even short of any physical discomfort, it's that added sense of exposure when you're in an environment that makes you super vulnerable. Also, did Ms. Williams not demand and then take *all* of Ashley's clothes? Cuz I'm pretty sure she was left in her cell without drawers AND on her period, presumably without a change of pad or tampon (I remember references to free bleeding). I don't think Ashley really melted down until that part.

And I've previously defended that Shanice on here thinking maybe she didn't understand that she was gonna have a problem eating in there. Going by the reunion, she knew what she was doing, and was doing it *for* that reason.

So yea, starving is MISERABLE-- and the lack of gluten free food unacceptable-- but you don't go on a damn hunger strike then (a) continuously complain about how hungry you are; (b) repeatedly threaten to put everybody else at risk cuz you're hungry.
