If by 'calm' you meant 'quieter', I might agree. However, I'd imagine being captured by the people you're trying to kill, then taken away from your home and country and people, stuffed in a cell which can't be all that big couldn't be very calming to the prisoner. Sure, it might be quieter and slightly less life threatening, but you're alone and surrounded by strangers who hate you. That's a pretty stressful situation. From that point on, it'll then depend on the individual, whether or not they fall into cooperation and introspective reflection, outward cooperation while nursing a grudge and planning revenge or remain flat out rebellious.
