It's an interesting point. But there is still a big difference. Neal went to prison for crimes he commited. And it was only 4 years. I'm sure Peter had an idea of what prison was like. For me, my main concern about Peter is that the System is believes so much in is failing him. Facing lifetime for a crime you didn't commit must be pretty hard, esp for someone who trusted the system.
As far as prison life, I'm sure he had an idea, but there's no way to actually know without going through it. Back when he was chasing Neal, he probably wouldn't have given it a second thought. Now that they're so close, it's probably quite a different feeling seeing what Neal had to go through for four years, plus the times he was put back in.
I agree totally about the system failing him; I could see this possibly being the biggest issue for him. Even though he did redraw the lines (as Hughes said) a little bit, he was still doing it because he wanted to bring those involved in the corruption to justice.
