is it better than being homeless?

I'd rather go to prison for 37 years than be homeless.

37 years does seem like a good number, do you think there's anyone here who's been in prison or is in prison for 37 years?

I have no idea what it's like personally, but having known someone who spent time in a women's prison....I'd rather be homeless.

I met a very interesting man at a party years ago and he told me he just got out of prison. I asked him "How did you like prison?" His response was "How would you like getting a$$ raped?". I responded with "I wouldn't like it." Then he said that I would not like prison.

So basically he called you a b'tch? In the prison sense of the word of course since you aren't a female dog.... Right?

it depends on temperature. and prison. a finnish prison is quite different from a turkish prison.

...and very different from an Arizonan prison.

Arizona is ending its use of outdoor prison cells after an inmate died in soaring heat last month, the corrections department said Tuesday.

Corrections spokesman Barrett Marson said in an e-mail that the decision came after consulting with Governor Jan Brewer's office.

Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman said “the governor made a judgment that she didn't desire this usage.”

“It's certainly to prevent any future exposure out in the elements,” he said, adding that Ms. Brewer believes indoor cells would be a good replacement for the outdoor ones.

The department said last week it was temporarily halting use of the cells to add shade and water. Corrections Director Charles Ryan planned to discuss the change on Wednesday.

Marcia Powell, 48, died from heat-related complications hours after she collapsed May 19 in an uncovered outdoor cell. She had been in the cell for nearly four hours, despite a policy that set a two-hour limit.

Mr. Ryan has said Ms. Powell's cell was 20 metres from a control room where officers were supposed to be watching her. Three prison employees were suspended pending an investigation.

The chain-link holding cells were used to house inmates being transferred between various sections of the prison. Ms. Powell was placed in one at the Perryville prison in Goodyear, Ariz., after seeing a psychologist.

She had been serving a 2-year sentence for prostitution. A string of convictions left Ms. Powell in jail or prison for most of the past decade, according to court documents.

that's a difficult lifestyle choice. don't commit to either until you have thought it through thoroughly.

Is your reading comprehension that bad? How could you construct that sentence to conclude he was calling me a bitch, or are you trying to be an inflammatory prick?
