Maybe we shouldn't be putting them in there then? On the taxpayer dime...

I'm happy to pay for reform, people make mistakes. Our prison system isn't about punishment or reform anymore, and you're right, in prison, you shouldn't have a bunch of this stuff available to you. We should be putting violent criminals in prison, that's certainly better then what we used to do. If you want to have them work to pay for their prison stay, I think that's fine.
We literally have homeless people committing crimes to go to jail because it's cleaner, warmer and safer. That how bad it is for some free people, being locked up has upside. Craziness...
