> No. I know absolutely no people who would choose to be put in prison simply because they would be fed. I cannot imagine a wealthy society (and make no bones about it, our society is wealthy enough that people can be fed) which would permit that.
Have you seen The Green Mile? I think that's the name of the movie, where the lead character contemplating committing a crime just so life would be easier again.
Some people do chose prison; or, enough of their friends are in prison that it's not actually seen as a 'bad thing' for them to be in there. Add to that how we as a society feel about people that have come from prison and are a felon; and sometimes, life may actually be easier for some people on the inside.
I think you're thinking of The Shawshank Redemption.
Also the character only says that because he's been in prison for most of his life and he's so old when he gets out that he doesn't know how to function outside of prison.
<_< you're right. It's been a long while since I've seen even a part of that movie. Honestly, I don't know if I've ever seen the whole movie; but, I do remember that part.
