"It's meant to be worse than living out" is full-blown Victorian welfare.
Care to elaborate? Because what I'm seeing is that you want those imprisoned, who are deliberately separated from society and deprived them of rights like personal freedom, to have the same rights and access to advancement?
Make no mistake, im not saying deprive them of basic human right - the prison system is bad enough. But they are meant to be deprived of freedom.
I'm for abolishing prison, you're for treating them as in a Victorian workhouse.
