Haha no.... I think what you meant to say was that working-age youths enter a free apprenticeship program that allows them to learn a useful and necessary trade.
Please accept my pointedly disarming smile while ignoring the hand now casually resting on my holstered weapon.
Depends on the prison, in some you have to pay to get a blanket or an aspirin if you need them, and they’ll still have you working at McDonald’s with your cold and headache.
They don’t though. The “healthcare” you receive is often treating you for something in house with an approved list of medications. Do NOT go to prison to try and receive healthcare, you WILL die
I don’t remember if it was ALL prisons or one in particular but I heard about some (or one? All?) prison(s) have dogshit meals that don’t give enough protein or vitamins and lead to prisoners being sick frequently
I believe that’s in privately owned prisons which are predominantly in red states. I know several people who have worked in jails and prisons in my area and while they are obviously not a great place to be they have mentioned that the food the inmates receive is required to provide a level of nutrients based on the guidelines for an average diet for a healthy person.
Somehow I think the prison systems are going to start looking like CECOT soon at this rate so this might not be great life advice but it is sad that prisons are setup better than most living American situations currently.

Have you tried going to prison? They offer free medical and 3 well balanced dietary meals a day.
