The video takes the form of a mock vlog titled " Day in the Life (of a) European Prisoner." The supposed inmate wakes up at 10:30 AM to the smell of fresh coffee, made by a prison guard. What follows is a jam-packed day of meditation, conjugal visits, park strolls for "punishment," therapy, and dessert carts. It's so over-the-top that it feels like satire. But the question on everyone's mind: is this real?

In the comments section, things took a reflective turn. A Chinese netizen wrote: "I wake up at 6, work from 7 to 7, eat two meals in a one-hour break, come home, shower, and sleep. No holidays. 5,500 yuan a month. A 30-year mortgage with 3,500 monthly payments. 23 years to go. Is that not a prison?"

Others chimed in with a mix of disbelief and dark humor. "If prison life is this nice, who would be scared of breaking the law?" one user quipped. Another was skeptical: "It's exaggerated! Surely it's not that comfortable."

So… what's the truth? Are some prisons really that livable? Or is this just internet myth-making at its finest? Have you ever heard of similar stories? Do you think any of it is real?
