12 prisons

I was quite baffled after watching a documentary about polish prisons. In Poland, some people prefer to be confined to survive harsh winter. In most cases, being sentenced for robbery rid them of many knotty problems, such as supplying water (in some parts of Poland bathroom is still a luxury), fuel or something that could be used to keep the house warm. Moreover, as the food is provided, another worry disappears. May the confinement be a pleasurable experience? Perhaps the major drawback is the lack of alcohol. Even though smoking is banned, everybody smokes (smuggling = new sentence).

My uncle drives prisoners to coal mine. It sounds bad. He told me that he hopes that one day they take him hostage so he will finally spend some time without my aunt's grumbling :D
