Close. Most lifers I've known hate making everyday decisions like what to
wear, what to do, where to go, what to eat. The military makes them for you.
You wear the uniform of the day, go where and do what you're told, sleep
where you're told and eat what you're given. Convicts also find it so hard
to make these decisions after years of incarceration that many commit a
crime and go back within weeks of getting out. Imagine the security of
sleeping protected by guards, being waked up and fed, exercised and fed,
entertained and fed, then sent to your bed again, day after day, year after
year. Some find it addictive.

I was an officer. I was the one making those decisions and telling
those people what to do.






Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Give us a break. You can't even tell your bf what to do.
