This may save anybody job hunting or planning their options some time:

All jobs open to inmates in Deadman Wonderland, regardless of the labor or skill level involved, pay the same: 10,000CP per day.

This means regardless of your chosen labor, it will take ten (10) work days to afford an antidote candy (100,000CP). Nine (9) the first time, with our starting bank balance (10,000CP).

You'll supposedly die in seven (7) days without it.

I'd still recommend starting a job today. Even given a piece in advance that will buy us seven (7) days or 70,000CP, I doubt many of us obtained a job on day one, but that still counts as one of seven (7) days on the count down. Consider the starting bank balance as coverage for that. The means for obtaining emergency funds seem slim. In another week, with seven (7) more days of payment, minus another 100,000CP for candy, you'll be down to 40,000CP. Another week, assuming no other income from events or free antidotes, 10,000CP. From there I assume you can do the math yourself and see the picture being painted: a nest egg won't last, even assuming you can handle a seven (7) day work week.
