“I don’t want to call these jails, but ... these aren’t really good dorms.”
In the UK, a standard dorm room is a 3m x 2m box that is indistinguishable from a jail cell.
- jfengel 3y agoIf true, that implies that your jail cells are nicer than ours in the US. Our jail cells are deliberately punitive, actively uncomfortable, and designed to strip you of your dignity. If jail cells were merely small and unadorned, our prisoners might use the time to rehabilitate and be prepared to re-enter society. As it is they come out either broken or borderline psychotic.
