I mean, they want cable TV, lights, food, bedding, etc? Let them work for the state so WE don't have to pay for them and get nothing in return. It makes absolutely no sense! When I worked at a city jail (not even a big fancy state prison), they had it so good that I seriously wouldn't have minded spending some time there myself.
The worst thing they had to deal with was these little orange crescent dealies with a pad on them that served as a bed before the inmates were booked. Whatever...
ETA: I'm sicker than I thought! My grammar and all is horrendous! My apologies.

Actually, most federal prisoners are put to work for UNICOR, the federal prison industry conglomerate. Most government-issue furniture and bedding is made by prisoners (I refuse to use the term 'inmates'). More info at http://www.unicor.gov/
