In prison you spend the majority of your time in an 8' X 10' cell.
At work you spend most of your time in a 6' X 8' cubicle.

In prison you get three meals a day.
At work you only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for that one.

In prison you get time off for good behavior.
At work you get rewarded for good behavior with more work.

In prison a guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
At work you must carry around a security card and unlock and open all the
doors yourself.

In prison you can watch TV and play games.
At work you get fired for watching TV and playing games.

In prison they ball-and-chain you when you go somewhere.
At work you are just ball-and-chained.

In prison they allow your family and friends to visit.
At work you cannot even speak to your family and friends.

In prison all expenses are paid by taxpayers, with no work required.
At work you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct
taxes from your salary to pay for the prisoners.

I remember this, got it in my e-mail. But there is an addendum to this.........

A Liberal's Solution to crime is more work for the poor.
A Conservative's Solution is more Prisons and the Death Penalty.

I took the time to reread the entire thing, and realized that there is yet some more stuff to it.......

At work there is a dress standard but I must buy my own clothes.
In prison there is a dress standard, but they supply the clothes.

In prison they will pay my way through school to learn a new career and give me time to do it.
At work they will pay for my education but I must do it on my own time.

In prison I can fall asleep on the job and no serious consequences comes from my actions.
At work if I fall asleep on the job I get put on the next RIF list.

In prison you have full medical coverage with no deductibles.
At work, you get partial coverage and pay all the deductibles.

It's so... realistic.

Last year, some friends and I told this to our history teacher, telling him why school was like prison. He nodded, then added "But in school you don't get raped in the shower when you pick up the soap."

We never brought it up again.
