Scene #3:

"He was in a high-ceilinged windowless cell with walls of glittering white porcelain. Concealed lamps flooded it with cold light, and there was a low, steady humming sound which he supposed had something to do with the air supply. A bench, or shelf, just wide enough to sit on ran round the wall, broken only by the door and, at the end opposite the door, a lavatory pan with no wooden seat. There were four telescreens, one in each wall." Page 225

Winston was caught for being against the Party and he was put into this windowless cell. I thought this scene was important because Winston is suffering in there. He is hungry and he can't move because a voice from the telescreen would yell. He couldn't hide from the telescreen either, like he did at home because there is one on each wall. Because there are no windows, he can't tell the time, so he doesn't know how long he has been in the cell.
