Not all inmates are criminals, and not all criminals harmed someone.

And criminal or not, all inmates are human beings.

Not all criminals are inmates either. Many of them run your country, sign your paychecks, or decide who is a "criminal" or not.

If you genuinely believe it's a good deal, feel free put your money where your mouth is.

Funny, that. Due to attitudes like yours, it's very hard for people with a criminal record to find gainful legal employment. Many end up living on the street as a direct result.

If being in prison is nicer than not being in prison, then why don't you commit a crime and confess right away? You could live for free in prison.

It's not like it's hard to get into prison.

> The $25 hamburger includes free rent, health care, and clothing. Sounds like a good deal to me. Honestly this just shows me how misinformed you are. Prisoners often pay for their own stay. This is on top of that.
