Life in prison versus a full time job
In prison they spend the majority of their time in a 8'
x 10'cell. At work, I spend most of my time in a 6' x 8' pod.
In prison they get three meals a day. At work I only
get a break for one meal and I have to pay for that one.
In prison you get time off for good behavior. At work I
get rewarded for good behavior with more work.
At work I must wear an ID badge at all times. In prison
they provide you with clothing with the ID conveniently sewn onto the
clothes.
At work there is a dress standard but I must buy my own
clothes. In prison there is a dress standard, but they supply the clothes.
At work I must carry around a security card and unlock
and open all the doors myself. In prison a guard locks and unlocks all
the doors for me.
In prison they can watch TV and play games. At work I
can get fired for watching TV and playing games.
In prison they will pay my way through school to learn a
new career and give me time to do it. At work they will pay for my
education but I must do it on my own time.
In prison they have exercise rooms that they allow you
to use almost whenever you want. At work we have an exercise room
that you can use but it must be on your time.
In prison I can fall asleep on the job and no serious
consequences comes from my actions. At work if I fall asleep on the job I
get put on the next RIF list.
In prison they ball and chain you when you go somewhere.
At work you are just ball and chained.
In prison you have full medical coverage with no
deductibles. At work, you get partial coverage and pay all the deductibles.
In prison all expenses are paid by the tax payer, with
no work on their part. At work, you get to pay all the expenses to go to
work, and then deduct the taxes from your salary to pay for the prisoners.
A liberal's solution for crime is more work for the poor.
A conservative's solution is more prisons.
