They already aren't very concerned about their well-being... not sure how it would make it any worst...

  Where I live there’s basically a two tier system for long term prisoners. Either prisoners are sent to a prison for long term prisoners, or to jail for “short term” prisoners. But many “short term” prisoners include those serving consecutive short term sentences that add up to a lot of time. Jails are the correctional equivalent of a bus station. Not the sort of place you want to live in. Jails aren’t long term facilities, but some prisoners can spend over a decade in them. Even worse than jails is being sent out of state. The state pays out of state prisons and jails to incarcerate our felons. These prisons are money making machines for the states that offer them. The wide variety of conditions we have now prove pretty clearly things could be much better or worse.
