And he was given a phone and told to turn it on at 10 a.m.

in the morning and turn it off at 10 p.m.

So this is, you know, somebody who has basically enslaved to a drug dealer and that, you know, they can't go anywhere.

They might be able to nip into the loo or grab a sandwich or something like that, but they're, they're not going off for a day out or, you know, they'll have to book time off if they wanted to go see a doctor or whatever.
