Well, I can tell you that one's lifestyle does not improve in prison.

As for 'apples and oranges', actually, that is exactly why Congress enacted the federal sentencing guidelines-to compare crimes and provide a sliding scale on the severity of the sentences meted out for crimes: the less severe receive less time and the more severe receive more time. Hence, this is the reason why Skilling did not get a life sentence and murderers and major drug kingpins do in federal courts.
