Actor/Director Rob Reiner found dead in home, apparent 'homicide'

While you are correct that the majority entering jails even briefly, much less prison, don't like that situation, there are a minority that enjoy at least for awhile, the free food, housing, medical care, etc, as a respite from whatever street life including homelessness,

I agree with this...some even commit crimes to become incarcerated at times. I've known criminals that you could say become 'institutionalized'...it almost becomes like a haven for some. It's what they know, a home away from home.

But this case grabbed everyone's attention probably because Rob Reiner was so well-known, so decent, and loved by millions. We related to him as a fellow human being, not just a name.

Most of us here grew up with Rob Reiner -- first as "meathead" in All in the Family, then with Spinal Tap, and other directing and acting roles. It's personal when someone from our past dies, but especially personal when he was murdered, and the way he was murdered, and the person who murdered him. What a tragedy.
