A few years back I did contract work for a banker who was doing time at the time. Except doing time in Scandanavia for white collar scams involving a missing 50 Billion is quite humane.

Jail??

It was more like a year locked in a private dorm room browsing the internet.  It's not quite dining at the Ritz but still, I've live worse voluntarily.
