I considered touching on that, but the user's post history led me to conclude prisoners are not people they would choose to empathise with.

The situation for humans of all kinds is dire in the States, and prisoners are definitely exposed to some of the worst of it. How convenient for the rich that they are unlikely to experience the same consequences of crime as the poor.
