I think that is how jail should be. If they aren't dying of starvation or heat stroke then they are fine. Don't wanna do the time, don't do the crime. Sheesh people amaze me at how they expect to be treated sometimes. It's fucking jail. Not meant to be paradise.
This Sherriff needs to either move just one state over to the west or go through a cloning machine so we can have thousands like him.
