Quarantinized - when you are so used to being quarantined, you won't survive the outside world. Etymology: While watching Shawshank Redemption Red (Morgan Freeman was talking about Brooks (Old Prisoner) who was "Institutionalized" and when he got out. He could not survive and committed suicide. (Great Scene). RED Man's been here fifty years. This place is all he knows. In here, he's an important man, an educated man. A librarian. Out there, he's nothing but a used-up old con with arthritis in both hands. Couldn't even get a library card if he applied. You see what I'm saying? FLOYD Red, I do believe you're talking out of your ass. RED Believe what you want. These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em. That's "institutionalized."
