> A prison is very much like a cruise ship from a viral perspective.
Prisons are much worse. Chow line with men almost heel to toe. Commissary line. Med line. Recycled air. Big crowds in small spaces.
- TylerE 7y agoThat’s a cruise
- Fjolsvith 7y agoI don't see them advertising it like that.
- TylerE 7y agoThe table settings might be nicer, but it's still a chowline of people asses-to-elbows. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/B5D6CE/breakfast-buffet-served-onboard-celebrity-cruise-lines-infinity-cruise-B5D6CE.jpg https://c8.alamy.com/comp/B5D6CE/breakfast-buffet-served-onb...
- ninkendo 7y agoWe could make the same dumb jokes about: Popular restaurants, clubs, sporting events, concerts, movie theaters, stores on Black Friday, etc etc etc. (Personally, I’ve been on 5 different cruises and they’ve each been among the best vacations of my life. But lol lots of people so they must be just like prisons amirite?)
- quickthrowman 7y agoI don’t live at/in a restaurant, club, sporting event, concert, movie, or store for a week or more. Perhaps you do. But if you don’t, none of those things are similar to a week-long cruise at all, since you are there for hours and not days.
- ninkendo 7y ago> I don’t live at/in a restaurant, club, sporting event, concert, movie, or store for a week or more. I don't live asses-to-elbows in line with people for a full week on a cruise ship either. I have a room to myself. What point are you trying to make, exactly?
- TylerE 7y agoThe room is only for sleeping. Everything else is massive crowded common spaces
- strathmeyer 7y agoI guess you guys will have to wait for your first time in jail to spot the differences, if you aren't going to learn from strangers on the Internet
- danieltillett 7y agoApart from the demographics, they seem to me pretty similar ;)

- Zhenya 7y agoOP is describing a prison.
- davidbanham 7y agoThat's the joke.
- Fjolsvith 7y agoStress.
- djsumdog 7y agoBut in prisons you spend way more time isolated. There is less freedom of travel, and I'd assume they'd be less physical contact (although maybe more if you considered shared showers).
- watwut 7y agoThey share cells. They move around at set times. They are not isolated. The soap is expensive, they don't have it and masks are not allowed.
- MauranKilom 7y agoI am communicating daily with a prison inmate and they are required to wear masks all the time. But yes, that won't help due to all the other aspects of prison.
