I like that you're all assuming you'd walk out of their alive.

I have more family members who’ve been to prison than college. The mainstream narrative around how dangerous prison is is extremely overblown and limited to a few prisons and generally to those who engage in organized crime

Most people come out of prison in WAY better shape than they went in

Define "way better shape". Mentally? Physically? Spiritually?

It's not prison, but I know people who spent time in various county jails for weeks to months, and all of them definitely came out worse, and did their best to stay as far away as possible from going back (at least as far as I could tell).
