Some men want to be in prison

I was talking about prison life some time ago. There are a few inmates who prefer to be in prison. They are usually older men who have been in prison for much of their lives. They have settled into the prison routine and feel safer inside than out on the street.

Leaving prison is not easy in any society, but in ours in which a third of all adults are unemployed, it is even worse. The former prison inmate comes last in the job stakes.
