So what? Lose your job, lose your housing.

Prison is at least 3 hots and a cot.

Some people value freedom more than comfort.

Decent prison conditions tend to overlap with countries with decent human rights.

IN authoritarian countries you might very well be starved or tortured in prison.

You might also just disappear and your body may or may not be found in an identifiable state.
