I kinda agree but it also depends on the jail. I imagine Japanese jails are nice, esp for small crimes. I’ve seen Nordik jails in a documentary and I’d totally pick that over many other places to live, if I was not able to afford living.

It's not just about being able to afford basic living conditions. If these people can't get enough human contact, we failed them. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to create meaningful interactions for the elderly. There's no reason whatsoever they should be isolated.

  "If these people can't get enough human contact, we failed them." These are adults, not children. Let's take responsibility for taking care of ourselves. There is no moral basis for blaming others if we individually fail at that (as long as others haven't done anything against us), as you imply. I also think we need more critique on gratuitous blaming/shaming. It does no good to allow abusive attitude like this, even when's addressed towards a diffuse target as the society at large.

It really doesn't depend on the jail, at all. Having to be incarcerated to have a good livelihood is unforgivably disgusting.

  Some people seek a different kind of freedom, that that which is taken away by some jails, or maybe they don't seek freedom at all, rather comfort. Which is very sad and normal. I sometimes think that I'd find it therapeutic to stay in a fitting prison. Some maybe relevant characteristics of mine are that I often seek isolation, and my creative activities are fully isolated of any direct social contact.
