Editor: There is a usage that I believe is more Taiwanese, where the phrase is used to imply that prison is a bit like a taxpayer-funded vacation.

因為監獄菜譜設計得太好,不少人喊著簡直想進去吃牢飯。

第二,無期徒刑犯的三餐、管理,和醫療成本都必須由全民埋單,不只加重國家財政負擔,在社會上也起了不良影響。2012年12月台南發生的隨機殺童案,就是嫌犯扭曲法律意涵,聲稱反正殺人也不會被判死刑,為了吃牢飯而冷血殺人,這不就是廢除死刑弊多於利的例證嗎?

日前台中才有位范姓男子為吃免費牢飯,持刀闖進超商強迫店員報警抓他,無獨有偶的,高雄也發生類似事件。一名男子因失業多時沒錢吃飯,竟把朋友的玩笑話當真,連續犯下三起「取物不付錢」的「搶案」後,跑到警局自首。不過,法院最後讓他交保,吃免錢飯的美夢也就此破碎。
