And that was that the best behaved prisoners in any prison are those who are doing life without possibility of parole. Or else are on death row awaiting execution.
I later digested it by realizing that they already have their lives laid out for them. They know what time they're getting up in the morning. They know what's on the menu for that day.
They don't have to worry about what they're going to wear because someone will bring it to their cell a couple times a week. They don't have to worry about it being ironed because no one cares what they look like anyway.
They don't have to worry about utilitities, transportation, insurance or medical care. All of that is fitted into the budget. They don't even have to think about it.
They don't have a lot of choices to make. Other than what to read or what TV shows to watch.
But I wonder if such a life would be worth living. No challenges, no contributions to the world, family and friends growing more and more distant. Just existing in a sterile vacuum with little or no social interaction.
Where on occasion another human walks by and looks in at you like you're a zoo animal on display.
Making no difference at all.
