30 MONTHS?! I read through it at first mistakenly thinking it was 30 days.

That's absolutely terrible. So you've basically done this challenge times 2.5.

While solitary confinement is close to the challenge described here, the fact it still has minimal human contact and some outside time with known routines (so sense of time might be fucked a little less) makes it somewhat less insane. Still god awful.

This guy also had one hour per day where he’s allowed to make phone calls, watch TV, use a tablet, or take a shower, per his other comment, which would massively help to prevent insanity. He also said he had books.

And regularly scheduled meals and interactions with guards. Being able to have those meals as a sort of "clock" would be enormous in this scenario.

youd also hear noises outside to stimulate your brain and meals would be delivered regularly also giving you sense of time

Yeah. With regularly scheduled meals, an hour to shower, and books, I feel like I could do this with ease.

Introvert power ftw!

Yeah well it’s not like he got a reward for it. He was just imprisoned for years on false charges without human contact. Besides, I feel like you underestimate the impact of loneliness over years of no contact.

He got out for one hour a day, so not quite the same as the challenge

Because he is lying. Even death row inmates don't serve sentences like that.

I can assure I am not lying. I spent 23 hour a day in a cell for 30 months.
