If it wasn't for Ben insisting he never would have known what it was like to get in a cop van, go to jail, and spend several hours chained up, to enjoy all that the jail house had to offer. He didn't even get to feel what it was like to have his union pin taken away from him. It was a pure injustice that Ben was going to be denied these wonderful life experiences.
