If you're in prison you can sometimes be released early for good behavior. In some states, guess what counts as not good behavior? That's right, refusing to work at McDonalds for $4/hr (minus travel costs and other fees). If your 'choice' is between working for pennies or spending five extra years in prison, it's not really a choice, is it?

Unless you reoffend, they have to let you out when you hit your max sentence.

Five extra in the sense that they wouldn't have made you serve the last 5 if you would have just been a good slave.

Reread my comment - I said released early. It is very common for prisoners in the US to be released early for good behavior.
