Long as your not Max Level security...................
You do know they get to leave in and out their cell all day from the hours of 6Am-12 Midnight,they get to workout anytime,they still get all the snacks they want,still get to talk on the phone as much as they want,still get visitors,they still can order clothes and look nice out of catalogs such as JcPenny,Macy's,etc,they still can work for a living,depending on the state they still can sleep with women,they still can Watch color TV and Cable as well,they tell you when to eat THEIR food,but you can eat YOUR food anytime you please,they still are able to buy mp3 players and listen to music all day if they please,if you slick enough you can work the guards for outside items(Cell phones,Fast food,etc)
Again it's not the life you want,but yall/your vision of prison isn't what you think it is,you still can do regular things as long as you not Max Security,nobody wants to be in prison breh,but you making it seem like they just sit a cell all day with 0 privileges and thats not the case at all,if you can adjust and keep your nose clean your time wont be hard.
