Given those options without the ability to get out of that situation (so I'd have to be homeless or in prison for the rest of my life), probably death. Though some prisons in some places don't seem that bad.
I probably would say death. I'm not going to enjoy life in prison, since my hands can get slippery at times, and I certianly would not enjoy being homeless.

Well what would you be living for? The same things you'd be living for right now. Who lives for a house?I live to have fun and lead an exciting life and to help others. I could do neither if I was homeless.

Basic things in life. Bed, food, showers. No point in living without that stuff. Life's pretty **** even when you have that stuff, so life without it? Pretty pointless.

A homeless life is very miserable. Especially when it gets cold and you've got nothing and generally they're alone. From what I've seen. I would chose death.
Homeless of course. You don't have any freedom in prison, and I can't know what happens after death (maybe heaven, maybe hell, maybe blank nothingness or reincarnation).
When you're homeless, you've got freedom. Its terrible, but you aren't tied down by societal constraints, so you are free to travel and experience life and new people. I guess I'm making it sound exciting, but if I were homeless, I'd pretty much use the opportunity to travel and learn new things.
Hopefully I don't ever need to be homeless to travel across America though.

How the hell can I help others if I can't even help myself? Also, I'm pretty sure when you are homeless living an exciting life is pretty much a dream. From what I all you can do when you are homeless is wonder or just, well that is all. House owners may not always have a monopoly on fun, but house owners also have the opportunity to have fun, whereby homeless people just focus on getting food, warmth, and enough money to maybe get a place in an apartment.

I think you need to broaden your definition of misery.
Can't believe i'd have to explain this but ok.
Prison - no freedom, violent atmosphere, possibility of rape constantly etc
Homeless - pretty much no basic life standard
I honestly dont know how any of them are not miserable. I dont think anyone in this part of the world would bear being homeless.
I would think that misery would be reserved for those with extreme hardship. Not the guy sitting around with a bottle of booze and an old sandwich. I'd say that guy has it better than 50% of the inhabitants of this planet.

Better doesnt mean good.... People always make that link. No, being homeless or being in prisoner would be worse than death for me by a long way.

Well, first of all, I wouldn't be able to help people in many ways, It would be the other way around. People would be helping me (soup kitchens, shelters, that kind of stuff). Secondly who would want help from some random hobo? People usually get creeped if a hobo tried helping them.
Homless, I'd go with my leet camoflauge and gas mask for no reason so I don't have to smell crap and baiscally look like the guys form KF since I have that same suit I got on ebay for haloween for like 20$.(It's real ;o) I'd be the best homeless guy evar explorin teh woods like skyrim without the nastyness of the bugs with my leet gear.
Was homeless so I'd prolly go with that. It's really not that bad once you get used to it and if you're not a drunk/drug addict. Prison; depends on what prison, where, and what kind. Death is pretty much non-existence so that could really go either way depending on how I feel.

People have always been able to not only survive but thrive living nomadic life styles. A materialistic life isn't the only way to live.
if you live in a country that has a decent prison system (ie, NOT America) then i don't see why you wouldn't pick prison. not all prisons are the hellholes they are made out to be in movies.
in fact i heard in Sweden a guard left a cell open and the prisoners didn't even want to leave, they stayed in their cells and said it was the cosiest night ever.
