The US. It's not a very dignified setup in prison with 4 people in a cell, but most prisons have a toilet and a sink in each cell.

How can you possibly square "four people living in a cell with an open toilet" with "you can poop whenever you want"?

Is this something that is merely against prison taboos, or would agreeable people in this situation also decide, "It's better for us all to have to hold our poop 23 hours a day than to just bow to the indignity and go when we need to go?" I'm anosmic so for me it would be a no brainer that you go when you need to. The toilet's right there.

Prison food probably means you have to break the taboo some days no matter what.
