How long is the "full duration" of the booth?

[Joska Daro]

I was arguing with a friend. She said fifteen minutes but I thought it should be longer.
Turns out there wasn't an exact figure in canon or on Memory Beta.
I've read Dark Victory and that "Chekov died in 2 weeks" part but that booth was turned down so I think it doesn't count?
Any opinions?

Until the "participant" dies.

Until the "participant" dies.

WHAT??
Oh my god that really shocked me…O.o
But yeah that's…reasonable. Thanks.

The intercom sounds...

"Security, here, Captain. The prisoner has ceased screaming."

"Oh? Is he still breathing?"

"...No, sir."

"I see... I suppose you can release him then."


What was really chilling was seeing him in the booth on display in a corridor for anyone to see (and hear) as they passed by. Just a little added humiliation to spice the experience a bit.

"Oh? Is he still breathing?"

"...No, sir."

"I see... I suppose you can release him then, confine him to the morgue."

FTFY

Ummm... context? Agony booth?

Yes.

Yes.

Context = "Mirror, Mirror"

Evil Spock: I assume you've ordered full duration?

Even as a kid, I always thought full duration was a death penalty.

It's a nice euphemism. Maybe a an Imperial effort to make things sound nicer than keep him in there until he explodes.

"The aircraft has completely broken up Captain. Shall we turn off the tractor beam?"
