In prison you spend the majority of your time in an 8 x 10 cell; At work you spend most of your time in a 6 x 8 cubi- cle.

In prison you get three meals a day; At work you only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it. In prison you can watch TV and play games; At work you get fired for watching TV and playing games.
