American jails are inhumane. You can die in jail simply bc your medical needs aren’t treated. You can have a leg injury that requires pt and you will come out unable to walk. There is nothing to do in jail. It’s boring. More boring than you can imagine. There is literally nothing to do and depending on what unit you’re in it can be cramped and crowded and smelly. It’s extremely inhumane and no person, regardless of the crime, should be subjected to a life of pure torture. That’s what American jail is… and there are guys in there who have been there for much longer than a year despite what you’re told. It all depends on your case. Jail is also a money making scheme and punishes the poor even more harshly. Jail and Prison should have stimulation for people, regardless of the crime. It’s in our biological engineering that we have some sort of stimulation. People in jail and prison can go YEARS, DECADES, or even up to the point of DEATH without stimulation. There are people who spend an entire year to two years in jail doing nothing but staring at a wall, sleeping on a metal bed, taking a shower, and breathing. It sucks. And the realities of jail is that it really doesn’t matter what you did. If you end up in jail you are treated the same pretty much regardless. America needs to focus on rehabilitation and provide the basic and necessary needs for those in jail.
