that one clip of "worst first day at work" that's from a scifi show called "dead like me" it's a rather interesting show
Don't forget the biggest difference between prison and your cubicle -
In prison, you never get to leave and go home. you have no freedom, no possessions, no money, and no choice in where you live or what you eat. And no one particularly cares if you are terrorized, molested, or beaten - or if you die from anything anyone does to you.
@Roger, The same can be said for those that live hand-to-mouth. I'm not sure which is worse, being incarcerated, or living with an illusion of freedom. In reality, many people live where they can afford, not where they want. They eat what they can afford, not what they want. They have no money after spending for the above. A huge number, at least in the USA, don't have health insurance because they can't afford it. And in reality, nobody cares if they "are terrorized, molested, or beaten - or if you die from anything anyone does to you."
Thankfully I'm no longer in that position. But I paid my dues in a cheap two room flat with a hot plate and a roommate back in the days when macaroni and cheese was on sale for 10 for US$1 and Top Ramin was dirt cheap by the case. My roommate got a months worth of food stamps, for one, and we thought we'd died and gone to heaven. Not everything rosy in the "free" world either.
