You think they might look forward to prison?

Are you insane?

Are you insane?

That is a stupid question sir, but I will still explain it, so listen up. I was in California prisons from 1988 to 2013. In a few cases, certainly not a majority, but some, who had outlived relatives, were in their 70s, 80s and 90s, who had many physical problems, who did not want to get out, because they had no support system. There was one 94 year old criminal, who had served his time, and though he begged prison authorities not to let him out, they put him at the gate and told him to go away. In a day or two, he took a header off a bridge. There were quite a few criminals, who were better off in prison than they were on the streets. They don't worry about food, clothing, shelter and medical care. Do they necessarily like it? No, they don't like it even a little, they just put up with the garbage, in exchange for the security. It is a trade off. Some feel this way, some don't. Any more questions?
