job versus prison

Life in prison versus a full time job


In prison they spend the majority of their time in a 8' x 10'
cell. At work, I spend most of my time in a 6' x 8' pod.


In prison they get three meals a day. At work I only get a
break for one meal and I have to pay for that one.


In prison you get time off for good behavior. At work I get
rewarded for good behavior with more work.


At work I must wear an ID badge at all times. In prison they
provide you with clothing with the ID conveniently sewn onto
the clothes.


At work there is a dress standard but I must buy my own
clothes. In prison there is a dress standard, but they supply
the clothes.


At work I must carry around a security card and unlock and
open all the doors myself. In prison a guard locks and
unlocks all the doors for me.


In prison they can watch TV and play games. At work I can
get fired for watching TV and playing games.


In prison they will pay my way through school to learn a new
career and give me time to do it. At work they will pay for
my education but I must do it on my own time.


In prison they have exercise rooms that they allow you to
use almost whenever you want. At work we have an
exercise room that you can use but it must be on your time.




In prison I can fall asleep on the job and no serious
consequences comes from my actions. At work if I fall
asleep on the job I get put on the next RIF list.


In prison they ball and chain you when you go somewhere.
At work you are just ball and chained.


In prison you have full medical coverage with no deductibles.
At work, you get partial coverage and pay all the
deductibles.

In prison all expenses are paid by the tax payer, with no
work on their part. At work, you get to pay all the expenses
to go to work, and then deduct the taxes from your salary to
pay for the prisoners.

    At work, you can be a bitch. In prison, you're somebody else's. ;)

    Maybe I'm taking it too seriously, but this is insultingly ill informed about what prison is really like.

    I presume you've read the Mail's version of what prison is 'really' like?

    i don't get it.


    it misses a fundamental point, in that a job is generaly only 40ish hours a week, while prison is 168.

    I think the OP's reason to post is being over analysed ... it's just a bit of tongue-in-cheek to me. :p
