Rich prisoners can have apartments..
Rusty has a little shop in there and at another point ends up being a tour guide for backpackers.. Its its own little micro world.. In a strage way pretty free inside itself. People have jobs, thier place to live, etc etc etc..
The most unusual prison book I have ever read.
