Why's it any worse than being any other kind of person in prison?

It'd suck a lot less if your main hobby was playing poker with roughnecks.

Bad hobbies to have in prison:

  * computers
  * wood working
  * lock-picking

Good hobbies to have in prison:

  * re-inventing mathematics from scratch
  * writing poetry
  * working low-skill jobs without meaningful compensation
