Do inmates experience boredom in jail? Can you provide an example of something an inmate might do for fun if they were bored?

They lash out under circumstances where they would normally just let things slide.

You can only watch so many hours of basic cable on the shitty day room TV…play so many tricks of Spades…read so many chapters of Michael Crichton…listen to so much Top 40 radio over your earbuds, before it all just becomes too fucking much.
