    yeah actually i can understand going to prison instead of being homeless on the streets, if the prison is acceptable. Unfortunately, in some fucked-up places, it is not. Some prisons are unhygienic, have waay to low standards and stuff. I’ve heard such stories especially about countries with high corruption rates, and, unsurprisingly, about the US.

      I don’t doubt it. I can’t speak to those and never knew anyone personally that was in a jail or prison in that bad of shape. (Though I do know that prisoners are more likely to riot in my neck of the woods under certain conditions. They did it over food quality in 2009.) I also know far more women than men that have been incarcerated. I’m not sure how much that affects conditions and how prisoners are treated.
