I was just saying I took exception to that, as I DO have experience and STILL think they are too soft. That is all. I'm not about to get into a tit for tat argument as that really isn't my intention but reading that just riled me

It's not a blanket statement though, it never was.

I'm just commenting on my own experiences, opinions and accounts of people I've known that have actually experienced prison first hand. Throughout life, I've found more often than not, the people who are quick to say the prison is too easy have typically never been near a prison in their lives. If your experiences are different then good for you but you aren't going to change my mind and I don't really care for the sense of your outrage given that it's because you read more into it than I had written.

If you have a problem with my statement then surely you should take issue with your own since they are not different.
