3 meals and no rent? Doesn't sound too bad.

Oh there's rent. Most US prisons charge per diem rates for housing, and they charge for many "services" and they charge literal extortion rates. Prisoners leave US prisons deeeeeply in debt

I wouldn't even want to be in an Austrian luxury prison. There's a reason why people have went as far as dying while fighting for their freedom, it's one of our most precious possessions.

Freedom outside of prison is still a delusion. You are a servant of the rich elite.
