Depends on what he's in for. If he's in for something heinous, like rape, murder, or paedophila, then too bad. White collar crime, maybe reconsider. I know the liberals will come out in favor of helping this guy, but it really depends. Here in Texas, prisons don't have AC, and nor should they. Why should I pay taxes for your to be comfortable when you've raped or killed someone or sold drugs to a minor. IMO, the biggies like rape, murder, drug sales to minors, paedophilia -- (if proven BaSoaD) should all be death penalties anyway.
