Dude, let me ask you this. Suppose, just suppose, you were in jail, and you decided that you wanted to skip out to Starbucks for a vente latte. The prison guards told you "No." Then, let's suppose that you wanted to sleep during mealtimes. The guards laugh, kick your bunk, and say "get your ass to the messhall." Then suppose that you objected to being forced to live in an area 6 foot by 8 foot (it's called a "cell") and the guards refused to move you.
In the course of one day, you've been denied drink, you've been denied sleep, and you've been confined in uncomfortable quarters. Does that constitute a war crime, or a crime against humanity??? Nope, it qualifies as "being in jail."
