P.S. You must be ready to take a life at any time.
Ok, and you're saying its not that bad?
I don't mean to be argumentative, I believe you about prison being tolerable if you keep your head down, but come on. Is there any other situation you can be forced into by societal norms in which you have to "be ready to take a life at any time."

Prison is such a huge business in the states it seems like we could at least implement a system where the violent and non-violent offenders would be kept at separate facilities, or at least in separate wings, something.
