Can you share more about how amazing Mexican prisons are? I can only find stuff like this:

"Mexico’s Prisoners Face Extortion Fees to Live: Report"

https://insightcrime.org/news/brief/mexico-prisoners-face-ex...

"Murders, corruption and crime: The hell of Mexican prisons"

https://www.thejournal.ie/mexican-prisons-3418092-Jun2017/

"Mexican prisons: over 500 riots per year"

https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/english/mexican-prisons-over-...

But of course these can't be right since you saw a television show that portrayed them in a grand humanitarian light, and how could that possibly be inaccurate?

Your sarcastic and condescending tone detracts from your point and from the conversation. You could say the same thing in a polite and genuine way and be more likely to attract meaningful responses.
