I've always kinda assumed Robot Jail might not be conceivable in human terms.

I mean, I'd honestly take that. It's May's choice for if/when she wants to talk about it, but I really do want to know what it's like, even if it's "an abstract concept that is incomprehensible to the human mind."
TheEvilDog:
I'm guessing that the tone of May's reaction is less "can't explain it in relatable terms to a human experience" and more "Kid, you literally have no idea what I have gone through, both in prison and out of it and its mildly insulting that you think you know what it was like".
The only parallel I can imagine for May's time in Robot Jail would be something like Locked In Syndrome, and even then you can't exactly relate the experience and expect someone to understand what its really like. Its one of those experiences that someone would have to go through to really understand, otherwise there's just a lot of smoke getting blown out of people's asses.

I've been assuming it's something akin to solitary confinement without the ability to really move around. It may or may not come with some sort of behavioral adjustment regimen (like being subjected to nonstop Barney reruns or something overly saccharine and moralistic).

I think that qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.
