Administrative detention was pretty much like being locked up in a small, dark room. No cell phones were allowed. No freedom. It restricted personal liberties for a certain period as a warning. In modern society, situations calling for administrative detention come up quite often. For instance, the others in the same room as her all had various reasons for their detention. Some were there for fighting and brawling. Some were there for hurling insults at each other so fiercely it had gotten out of control. Some were there for drunk driving. These acts were illegal but did not constitute crimes, so they did not qualify for criminal detention. Their nature was also different.
Xia Qingqing reflected on her own situation. At worst, it was just disciplinary action. Nothing serious. She'd learn her lesson next time and resolutely avoid illegal actions.
Time passed slowly.
