Deep Thoughts

I imagine that prison is a lot like a really long slumber party. Here is my reasoning:

1. Prison Clothes
Let's be honest. We all wish that we coukd wear prison clothes. Don't they just look so comfy. They are quite literally like pajamas. Slippers, so you can't beat anyone with your shoes. Baggy, solid coloured, no-pocketed pants and shirts. So nice.

They just look so comfy. And look, free bracelets! They appear to be friendship bracelets

2. Activities
There is really not a whole lot to do in the middle of the night during a slumber. Just like prison. You can hang out, watch some tv, maybe play some games outside in the "Yard", gossip with your buddies. Doesn't it sound great!

3. Cliques
An inevitable result of both slumber parties and prison is the formation of cliques. Groups of cool people "gang" up on the uncool people and play all sorts of pranks on them. At slumber parties, kids pull pranks on the losers such as the old "Hand in a bowl of water makes you pee" prank. In prison, guys pull pranks like the classic "Shiv in the kidney during lunch" and the ever popular "Now your name is Sally". Kids these days...

4. Warden/Mom&Dad
And of course, if things get too rowdy or loud, Mom/Dad/Warden will come down and yell at you/have you beaten.


I like to think that this man is the warden of every prison ever.

I suppose the only difference is that the worse you behave at a slumber party, the more likely you are to be sent home. Prison is the opposite, the worse you act, the longer the slumber party is. That is why I propose this thesis: Prison is like a slumber party, but better.
