Well I will say ive done that last part, its not so bad playing cards and watching tv all day, what's hard is not having any control of who's around you and where they go. If you end up with considerate people its not so bad.

I dont think the choice is between hanging out in the rec room or working for too little pay. We are talking about specifically when inmates are forced to work, or endure punishments.
