    I'm glad when anyone manages to escape the US incarceration system, aka "hell on earth".

    US Federal "minimum security" jails are well known "cake walks", just like most European "minimum security" jails. Often the "inmates" can hold down jobs on the outside (returning to jail at night), get fed reasonably good food, and often even take weekends and more extended vacations with relatives.

    Oh yeah, US Federal "minimum security" is a tough game...
