If they were capable of making good choices and wanted to better themselves they probably would not be in prison.  The prisoners are horrible, hate filled, assholes who try to spit and urinate on the guards.  They beat up one another whenever they get a chance.  There are gangs, with hierarchy within the prisoners.  These are not innocent, oops I somehow wound in jail, prisoners.  These are murderers and violent offenders.   I doubt they showed any mercy or allowed dignity to any of their victims.  Too bad for them. I think all cells should have a stool, a rope, and an eye bolt in the ceiling.
