The ideal after prison life for Chris is the Amish town. He'll have to abandon the concept of electricity because there won't be any.
It's a common myth that the Amish are anti-technology or want to somehow freeze technology in time. They're just against technology seeping into how people live their lives vs. living pious lives. So, for instance, they don't mind using electricity when it's needed for something important, so they will set up a generator to produce electricity when needed, but be averse to always-on grid electricity that enables frivolous things.
The best way to put it is that the Amish are not against modern technology, they're just selective and sparing with it. They'll even use the Internet but they are rightly horrified by what goes on on the Internet so it's to be avoided whenever possible.
