Basic healthcare in prison is free (I believe?), and I reckon the food is comparatively less likely to give you diabetes?

Healthcare may be "free" but that doesn't mean it's any good.

One would suspect, but one would be wrong. The data bears this out but also food that's bad for you tends to be cheaper than food that's good for you and Bureau of Prisons isn't known for doting upon its charges.

Even then I imagine the financially and socially disadvantaged would be more likely to end up in jail, who are unlikely to be in good health to begin with.
