This is truly a special passage. Again God's mercy extended. How overwhelming his soul was in torment. Just a few minutes seem unbearable but Jonah was the belly for three days. Think about the soul agony. Jesus was in hell 3 days and nights, separated from his father even as Jonah was cut of from the land of the living.Jesus did that for us, Jonah shed a little light on the souls agony in hell, down in the deep heart of the earth. God's plan of salvation is mercy and grace to spare us from such. He extends it and we must accept it in order to avoid sins consequence. i am quite sure 3 days was a long time, almost loosing hope and despair, but eternity has no end.
