Doesn't sound that different from people staying in a monastery for a while. Used to be pretty common. But monastic life is not so popular anymore so there are fewer of those around.

Monastery is different because it requires work too, just like normal life.

Living in Asia, I am really thinking that jail in a good country like Sweden is way superior to living outside of prison. You could read books, study languages, pause and think about something. More chances for meeting friends, and so on.
