    The sad fact is a large portion of the US population doesn't give a shit about the conditions of prisons and the treatment of inmates. A large portion of that portion also believes that the neglect and abuse is deserved.

    To quote the favorite book of the US;

    When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.' Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' -Mathew 25:39-43
