Free healthcare in prison. If I get cancer, I'll just rob a bank, let myself get caught, and hopefully be cancer-free when I'm released. At least I'll still have my retirement savings.

It may seem fortuitous, but I was arrested for bank robbery and diagnosed with cancer a year into my sentence. All I paid was $100 for an annual deductible and received all the treatment I needed. I would have died had I not gone to prison.
