I don't doubt it. I can't speak to those and never knew anyone personally that was in a jail or prison in that bad of shape. (Though I do know that prisoners are more likely to riot in my neck of the woods under certain conditions. They did it over food quality in 2009.) I also know far more women than men that have been incarcerated. I'm not sure how much that affects conditions and how prisoners are treated.

I can speak on this a bit.
When I was homeless, I knew several people that served their time or were on parole. In jail or prison, if you had special dietary needs, they would be accommodated. So if you're diabetic, you'd get a special diet. (I'm not sure how suitable or how far these accommodations would go, but there was at least an effort.)
In the shelter? You get what everyone else gets. Are you allergic to something served? Will the food make you sick? Are you pregnant and need a little more? Too bad. They even threw away food after serving the meals, people asking for seconds be damned.
We also had a free clinic. However, it primarily served people that didn't live at the shelter. You weren't allowed to see the doctor if you lived in the shelter. (And the staff was condescending as hell when I asked... Yeesh.) The staff was incredibly friendly to the people being served by the clinic, and frequently was rude or would scream at us residents.
It wasn't all bad because we got beds and running water. But there was the constant worry of being kicked out. You never knew when they would enforce a new rule they didn't notify you of, or when they would try to page you and you don't answer (because you're at your job and not sitting there all day).
I knew a lot of women that would say that they missed prison. (They said prison was better than jail, but some even missed jail too.) You didn't have to worry about starving. You could access a library. You might get access to an education. You could get medical care. It's not all roses by any stretch, but they said it was better.
It might be different for the men, since living conditions for the men might be different, but I have a suspicion that it is not.
Are you dependent on your parents at all? (Ex: you are a child, or they give you money to live.) Send it. You don't have to mean it.
Otherwise, do what you want. Don't send one if you don't want to.
A lot of us had hard lives and didn't abuse children. Ultimately, we are responsible for our own actions.
As a side note, if he cannot stop abusing children, is there any way you can get them out of that situation, such as reporting to child services?
Very nice perches. This definitely looks like a home with a lot of love for the cats.
What should we have expected, "butt" is right in the name.
White male punishments in the US
Young: "oh, he's so young. We don't want to ruin his promising life over a little mistake."
Middle: "where is the evidence? I bet the other person is lying. It's not that bad. He will get a slap on the wrist if anything."
Old: "he's unfit for punishment because he is old and has diseases that primarily affect old people."
Everyone else
"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."
Hugs, girl. ♥️♥️♥️

I just looked into it, and holy shit. A cancellation fee for a digital service is lunacy. It's not like you're booking a finite resource that you stopped the company from offering to someone else that would have used it. (Like cancelling a booking for an event.)
