If you are safe from the prisoners and guards, get clean accommodations, are well fed, get outside/gym time for fitness, medical care, time to learn a vocation or study, occasional entertainment time (tv or whatever)... the only thing missing is a romantic partner... honestly, it sounds as good as an all inclusive retreat/vacation.

I imagine not having control over your own life for years at a time would wear one down. But months? If I knew my outside people weren't suffering because of my actions, it sounds kind of nice.

But I'm an introvert that works from home, so, I'd miss my pets.

The thing is, any country that takes care of their prisoners this well also takes care of their own homeless population. If Norway treats its prisoners this well, imagine what their homeless shelters are like.

Dude, it is still a prison. Saying 'yeah I could use a highly regimented living space for a while' is one thing. But a prison is still something else.

Workhouses in Victorian England were very harsh places, sometimes even harsher than the prisons of the time... but they were not prisons. If a workhouse inmate wanted to leave, they could up and go at any moment without anyone stopping them. Because it was not a prison.
