If you were in prison solitary confinement would you fear this?

Suppose you were a POW or a Christian missionary imprisoned in a foreign nation. Suppose that you knew that at some point in the day on a daily basis your impounders were going to come and “pound you” that is give you a little attitude adjustment. Do you believe you have the constitution that could handle this treatment? If you knew it was going to be at a certain time of the day, would it make it more or less difficult in terms of dread. I mean, could you get psyched up to handle it if it was at a certain time but would you be in continual stress if you never knew when it would be?
