The purpose of the rooms, specifically room 69, is to hold people who didn't really do anything wrong, but if they are allowed to be in public all hell brakes loose (example: Taters. The brutes were jealous of him and threatened to cover High Charity in there shit, so to please them they put Taters in Room 69). That is why the rooms have TVs, Board games, a Nintendo, and a porn library, and the conditons are generally better than Prison. The reason Room 69 is most famous is because it is considered lucky. While in the other rooms most people spend their entire lives in them, Room 69 has never had anyone spend more than ten years in it.
