actually on about half of what you have said is wrong. Food is high quality,,,they have a contract with whole foods here for fish, produce, and grains. TV is absolutely living good. Yes the phone calls should be given but only once in a while like hmm once a week not three times a day. In my state they dont pay for the commisary. They have tokens they are given for not getting in trouble. Is your opinion biased due to the fact that youve been to prison or have a close one incarcerated

why can't the tax payer bill the state the same?

It is true that polices vary from state to state and from prison to prison. Personally, I think a higher food quality should be required of the prisons. Not from a comfort standpoint, but from a health standpoint. The prisons have no right to endanger the health of inmates by feeding them fast-food.

if he went to prison and was not expected to be rehabilitated with his own devices upon exiting then why send him to prison any way; why not an instant execution? if the question as to what he does while in prison or where he send any of his own funds as a "free man" arise; why is he given the choice of what to do and where to and how to allocate his own needs for survival: why not make these choices, instead of making him pay doubly for having made a choice pertaining his own well being?
the title of this thread is misleading; and all persons american or not should take note that prison is not jail; and bars a person could be behind while similar in the two are entirely different. if the county or city he was arraigned in wants his 11k for the fees attributed to his stay prior to entering prison...
