Funny you say that they should be entitled to health care when no one in the US has that as a right. We are so backwards!!!
For the record: Prison is not enjoyable for anyone. Things like college classes, books and gyms are provided so the people there can build a future for themselves when they get out. We want to make people who commit crimes not commit them in the future, right? Treating them like shit and not giving them any rights is not the way to do that.

edited to add... all the "luxries" we hear of are not normal at all. The guy who said prision was better than the outside is probably 200% mentally ill.
