what if prison ends up becoming the most distraction-free dev environment. no meetings, no slack pings, no linkedin recruiters, just you, a terminal, and 10 years of uninterrupted focus. kinda terrifying how productive that sounds

If you're not dating anyway and don't own your house outright prison with computer access honestly doesn't sound bad at all.

No need to worry about rent, no need to worry about healthcare, no need deal with all this social crap.

When I had a <3 year old demanding child I often thought about how relaxing prison would be, with relatively normal set sleeping, work patterns, and in some prisons guaranteed personal space at night with at worst an adult roomate.

Just the thought of maybe being able to peacefully read a book for 30 minutes, at times I almost wished to be imprisoned...

this is something you can freely achieve for yourself without prison -- no need to speak this evil into existence haha.
