But there are a number of folks here who are suggesting that the prisoners should keep none.

Nor am I. I know that I will not find "cushy" conditions in prison. Quite the opposite, in fact.
BUT - If conditions in prision, as some have claimed, are so much better on the inside, it would be irrational not to seek the better conditions. So, why are you not trying to take advantage? Why aren't most people?
After all, there are any number of ways to break the law where, in essence, all you do is inconvenience someone else. For example, make a habit of stealing cars (without damaging them, of course) and drive them to a place where they are certain to be ticketed or towed, leaving some obvious clues in the vehicle as to who should get credit for this dastardly act. You could even leave a note, so that the owner would know where to find the vehicle.
Why aren't most people taking advantage of the better "cushy" conditions that some claim they would find in jail? Perhaps those "some" who make such claims aren't truly convinced that they are presenting an accurate picture?
