Perhaps in United States. Our European prisons are much more comfortable.

Additionally, in the USSR we perhaps had less rape and violence in peacetime (our prison guards were professional and order was enforced), but oh boy, we knew a thing or two about neglect.

The Gulag Archipelago paints a very different picture, torture was common according to that text.

Serves them right for not giving up every single ounce of grain they produced to the government.

Yes, that’s right; it is about the Stalin era, though. My personal experience with the USSR was limited to the end of 1980s, where things were much softer compared to those horrors.
