They aren't going to real Prison, nonviolent federal crime. I knew a guy that went to Federal Prison for interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle. He got his ground school done for his pilot licence done while he was there and took some computer classes. There were conjugal visits with his wife. Where he was there wasn't even any fences, you sign a contract when you got there stating you would not leave the boundaries of the prison. I know it would be hard to be away from your family but in my opinion the boys in the armed services have it a lot harder than these folks. They will probably have it better than a good portion of the people reading this.
