For a few years I lived in a "room" that was a sort of entrance/porch that we used a curtain to block off. It was because we didn't have enough rooms in the house. Not as punishment or a form of control.
I had a friend who's 4 bedroom house had 13 children in it. His parents were Italian Catholics. So I don't think anyone had their own room. He slept on a sofa for years and had almost no property but his clothes and guitar and emancipated himself legally at the age of 16. He's a chef in Hawaii now.
