"The golden cage"

Here's a worthwhile excerpt from an article that I've covered before:

Life within the camps was so comfortable that one German prisoner wrote his family and described his temporary home as a "golden cage" and, conversely, some Alabama residents resented what they perceived as the POWs' pampering while they endured rationing.

(The image is not from the article but I think it's a good match.)
