I'm thinking of a book, but can't remember the title or the author; help?

[Joelberg]

In this story, a man is transported to a penal colony that is completely twisted and backwards from moral society. Except, the society described in a twisted way actually represents society as it exists today. The man is forced to steal and murder and give up his values of morality. The drug him and force him to compete in ridiculous competitions. Eventually, he is able to escape the twisted penal colony and get to earth, where earth is actually inhabited mostly by robotic minded people. And a computer system actually controls the government.

This was a rather long short story available in the free domain commons. I read it a while back and cannot think of the title or the author but I want to read it again. Does anyone have any ideas of what this story is called or who wrote it?
