This is an actual argument a "sigma grindset" coworker gave me once, specifically about being away from distracting women and just around other men who want to make money, and he's in prison for sexual battery so I guess he's happy now

In the U.S. we have this nice feature they call pay to stay. Where you get billed for being in prison. So you may very well be paying $25 a day to be in prison, and I think I remember seeing you can make about .86 cents a day working. So that's like $4/week working, and you owe $175 that week in fees.
lmao what happens of you don't pay?
Legal slave labor for hire
and if you refuse to work?
The most common punishment for refusing to work in states like Florida (who does not pay for labor like making the food for other inmates), is solitary confinement. So really you will just spend a lot of time alone sitting on cold cement until go insane.
Some people may say solitary sounds fine, but anyone who has been in solitary tells me it's terrible.
American prisons are straight up slavery, no extra steps. It's deliberate.
Yeah, it's explicit, too. It's stated formally in the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution:

Also, the incarceration rate for black Americans is nearly five times higher than that of white Americans:

Couple that with the image of a corrections officer overseeing farm labor from horseback (I wish I were joking), which includes, but is not limited to, actually picking cotton, and can see exactly what they're trying to do.
i have not been in solitary, but once when sick i went about a month without speaking to or seeing anyone (not even watching tv, playing video games, or going on the internet. i was sick). by the end my pareidolia was going nuts, i was seeing faces in everything.
For those who don't know what pareidolia means like me, the context clues here were good. "The tendency to perceive meaningful patterns or images in random stimuli, like faces in clouds or rocks."
Pretty sure they put you in prison to work off those fees, ya scoundrel
He'e probably say something about how all that debt will force him to grind harder. Guy earned $13/hr and lived alone and somehow found a lender to approve a 96-month lease on a basically new 4Runner, and that's what he said when we all understandably gave him shit for his financial acumen
he's in prison for sexual battery
Can't tell which way for is used here, 'for committing' or 'looking for'.
Guess he got distracted by a woman?
It depends on the country and prison, but it might not be free and usually requires working a job. For example, most states in the US allow for charging prisoners:
Perfect, no time wasted finding a job
You do you. Enjoy your $0.60 per hour, I guess?
Don't tempt me
Is that Tom Hardy?
Well the head is lol
