Sorry for not being clear TL. I meant to say that they tend to get more perks than a middle class citizen, of which there are many, I think, in the U.S.

Basically I believe that Alcatraz pretty much had it figured out. 6 days out of the week all you did was get up and eat, do 8 hours of work, then sit around bored in your cell. then on Sundays you got the priveledge of walking the prison yard for a couple hours and you didn't have to work. As far as I know you didn't get paid for the work you did either.

No doubt some will find flaws in that system. But most of them are a psyche issue.
