The trial of the alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks will begin in 2028, 25 years after the terrorist attacks that shook the United States.
The alleged mastermind is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was captured in Pakistan in 2003 and spent more than three years in CIA custody before being transferred to the Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
The same news article mentions the case of a Portuguese engineer who spent 100 days locked away to simulate a space journey, an experiment related to isolation and confinement studies.
Both cases share the theme of long periods of waiting or confinement, although in completely different contexts.
