ANSWER
It is the New Cook County Correctional Center, Chicago , Illinois. You want luxurious living? Go break a law in Illinois ! Once again the taxpayer gets stung.It also shows that in most cases the quality of life for prisoners has improved considerably from what you might expect. And I always thought prison was for punishment.!!!!!
Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, this comparison chart should make things a little bit clearer:
| @Prison | @work |
| You spend most of your time in a 10x10 cell | You spend most of your time in a 6x6 cubicle |
| You get 3 fully paid for meals a day | You get break for 1 meal and you have to pay for it |
| For good behavior you get time off | For good behavior you get more work |
| The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you | You must carry a security card and open all the doors yourself |
| You can watch TV and play games | You get fired for watching TV and playing games |
| They allow your family and friends to visit | You aren't even supposed to speak to your family |
| All expenses paid by taxpayers with no work required on your part | You must pay for all expenses, go to work and they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners |
| You spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out | You spend most of your time wanting to get our and go inside bars |
| You must deal with sadistic wardens | They are called 'managers' |
| Is there something wrong? | Better to be a prisoner? |
