Yes, the fact that they are dumped into the American prison system, which is mainly a profit generator unfit for all three, does not help at all.

I guess if the consequence was that these people had to undergo some psychological tests it would have been better. And even so, I doubt most of them would do anything in the real life, i.e. without some convenient honey trap.

But then, it would be all cost and no reward for the police, so they probably would not bother.
