It is sad that we allow prisoners such a posh life. I for one think they have it way to easy. They get better care than our elderly or our veterans. I think too many prisoners enjoy the prison life and refuse to reform since they have it soo good in there. Make it worse off without denying them humane rights. If our soldiers can sleep on cots in tents them so can they.
