That's an easy question to answer. I would rather live alone at my house and have my freedom.
I do live alone well unless you count my cat. He lives with me. Other than that I live by myself and I'm okay living by myself if it comes to that.
In prison you don't have freedom to go anywhere you please, or do anything you want.
I'll take my freedom of not being locked up and can go anywhere when I want too.
I'd go insane if I was locked up in a prison for the rest of my life.
