I would agree with this if jail wasn't the way that it has become in the last few decades. Mentally ill people are targeted in jail and deliberately tormented, beaten, molested and raped until they commit suicide and if they "snitch" then, their tormentors basically put a price on their head and even solitary confinement isn't safe for them. I've watched many documentaries on prison life and read statements and stories of survivors. In one case a guy told a prison doctor "If you send me back in there ("there" being the prison) I will kill myself. The doctor reportedly said "I don't give a damn." at which point the prisoner hung his head in despair and wept. That's jail. That's prison.
