There are several valid production reasons why the show version of Whoreson Prison Blues doesn't have the lines "If I had to do it over, I'd do it all again // The wind don't cower to powerful men" that are in the studio version. But for an in-universe explanation, I submit that in this moment, Jaskier is both physically and emotionally battered and he doesn't have it in him to be anything other than this odd mixture of despondent and defiant. He doesn't know if he'll ever get out of this cell, and all he's got is "this is bullshit" and "fuck you." Later on, after Geralt frees him and he has had some time to heal*, he gets enough perspective to go back to the rough draft of this song and add in "you know what? It was worth it." And that's the final version we get.

*Hopefully! After yet even more trauma! Give this bard a break, dammit.
