Inmates in some Indian jails are known to temporarily alter your sexual orientation, if you aren’t sufficiently protected within the cell. Ignore them for a second. Speaking for a more civilised world, have you wondered how imprisonment may hardly be a deterrence against major crimes (robberies, murders, etc)? If the concerned criminal, so deeply impoverished otherwise, could barely afford food, clothing, shelter and stipend that the government offers, only once he gets convicted, after all?

Does the jail seem such a terrible place, compared to the merciless orphanage under the open sky that could drive one towards crime in the first place? Have thought about it. Consider the analogy that changed my mind. Try getting on a long-distance train that has your stop as the only destination. You’re comfortable alright.
