In some places, prisoners share beds, eat stuff you would normally give to stray dogs and use facilities much cleaner than the streets. You can't battle with the simple facts of life and society, no matter how unfair it has become. RICH COUNTRIES=good prison quarters... POOR COUNTRIES= unimaginably horrible (even for prisoners) prison quarters.

This is absolutely ridiculous! They get a better life for committing a crime, and it is FREE! I would committ a crime to get INTO prison, aha.
It is costing people a lot of tax money. I say we give them the very basic needed to live, if that. Use that money to help shelter homeless people (not the ones who are homeless from drug abuse, or their own fault). These people need the living conditions more than freaking jail inmates...

Prisons in the US are also better than how a lot of people live.
Free food
Free living
Free CABLE
Free learning (classes)
Free gym
Free medical
Free dental
What's there not to love?
It's sad that we treat murderers and stuff with a better life than most of us have.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
really why don't you get yourself into a US jail (even a min security one) and let us know how it feels then
since it is better than your house?
do you like staring at the walls in a 10x10 claustophic space with nothing to do except tv for 22 hours a day for years?
do you like being locked up in a hard concrete jungle for years?
do you like ****ty food?
do you like your basic liberty taken away from you for years?
do you like not having sex, no porn, no talking to wife/kids, no job, no nothing for years?
do you like making friends with rapists and violent people?
retard like yourselves make me laugh..

You obviously fail to understand the reasoning of why they built it or you simply do not understand the benefits of why they built it and/or you believe the negatives outweigh the positives.
Sure you can go on about the negatives all you like and call it stupid and idiotic but atleast try and understand the reasons why they have done it.
Incase you can't understand I will give you some reasons:
HUMAN RIGHTS. If for one second you give up on the human rights of somebody then I for one pitty you. Someone who has commited murder should still have the rights to not be in pain (for two wrongs do not make a right) but incase we are talking about petty crimes whereby this new facilily will be able to "correct" the wrongs of the prisoner.
If all petty crimes and even some major crimes were to be served in prisons were by rape, torture and brutality existed (and trust me they do exist) then I believe you have lost your sense of morallity no matter how bad the crime may be.
However you may not believe that this be deserved apun all criminals and that this method of facilitating is simply an extreme of the opposite and you are happy with how prisons are.
I understand this may be the case however you automatically have a bias opinion as you have more then likely not spent a single hour in a what can be considered a "normal" prison. So even if these prisoners were given more rights, more chances to improve and a higher chance to correct their wrongs would society not benefit?
For if you treat a human like a dog eventually that human will start barking and what good is returning an animal back into society? If anyone honestly understood the conditions of an actual prison then you would understand where these benefits are to help the individual and the society I just hope you have not already lost faith for that is truelly saddening.
I do not question your negatives other then saying they are bias on the fact that you have almost no understanding of what you are attempting to talk about but you can not deny that these positives are very much going to help the society the question is "at what cost?"
In terms of costs here is a little research comparison take of it as you will...
Imprisoning a single prisoner costs about $269 a day, on average, in Australian detention facilities, or about $98,185 per inmate each year. (Source: Report on Government Services, 2009, quoting Productivity Commission figures for 2007-8, see figure 8.13).
