Kept apart from society? And no one will be bothering me? Sounds like heaven.

The nice thing about not being in jail is that you have the freedom to choose where and how you live. Feel free to move into a shack in the middle of the woods away from everyone. Plenty of people make the choice to live as hermits or shutins because they don't want to deal with other people or the demands being a part of a community places on them.

Well, it’s more that there will be a specific society that you’ll be forced to be a part of. You can try to keep to yourself but you’ll still be living, eating, showering, and so on in rather cramped conditions with many others.

Yes, I know. Does it ever stop? The OP suggested there was a way to be apart from from society. /s

Well, if society feels the need of inflicting this on you, it's a win-win, so why not?
