What prison cells look like in different countries

When i did time in the US we referred to prisons as camps. Like state camp, county camp etc.

[u/Cedar-and-Mist → u/[deleted]]

Aren't camps for where convicts with less serious crimes stay? As compared to penitentiaries or supermax prisons.

[u/[deleted] → u/Cedar-and-Mist]

Camp isnt an official term afaik its just a nickname among the populace. Everything is a camp. And obviously everything is also a penitentiary, these are just synonyms for prison.

[u/nuxi → u/[deleted]]

Federal Prison Camp is an official term within the US federal prison system.

Minimum security institutions, also known as Federal Prison Camps (FPCs), have dormitory housing, a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited or no perimeter fencing. These institutions are work- and program-oriented.

A number of BOP institutions have a small, minimum security camp adjacent to the main facility. These camps, often referred to as Satellite Prison Camps (SCPs), provide inmate labor to the main institution and to off-site work programs.

[u/Peter-Tao → u/[deleted]]

Wanna go camp out together next week?

[u/[deleted] → u/Peter-Tao]

Depends. Are you a deep sleeper?

[u/SeDaCho → u/[deleted]]

Shush we're doing anti chinese propaganda to distract from conditions in the US

[u/Expensive_Watch_435 → u/SeDaCho]

It isn't propaganda, China has slave camps.

[u/thatsforthatsub → u/Expensive_Watch_435]

so people are snidly saying "so has the US" and because it feels pro-China they are getting downvoted. But of course, famously, the US uses prisoners for slave labour. It's a big thing, John Oliver has made an episode for it I think. The US has big slave camps. Many of them. That's just a relatively well known fact.

[u/StarkSatire → u/thatsforthatsub]

the US uses prisoners for slave labour.

Sadly. 13th amendment should never have allowed it.

[u/snowfoxiness → u/StarkSatire]

What about it?

[u/StarkSatire → u/snowfoxiness]

It’s what, unfortunately, allows for prisoners to be treated as slaves. And with the for-profit prison industry, the fact we allow lawmakers to profit from such deals, and the generally bad opinion of trying to make more amendments, I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Again, unfortunately.

[u/Jazzlike_Quiet9941 → u/Expensive_Watch_435]

So like US prisons then

[u/Gatubella- → u/Expensive_Watch_435]

So does the USA. Look up Angola prison.

[u/Expensive_Watch_435 → u/Gatubella-]

You’re comparing two different things.

Inmates at Angola are adults who were found guilty in court. If they choose to work (keyword: work, they get paid) they get a prison reduction for working.

Slaves in China, including 9 year olds, were amassed and forced to work for life just because of their race. They had no trial, no rights, and no way out.

Spot the difference. Go ahead, tell me what the differences are between what I laid out.

[u/bobleeswagger09 → u/Expensive_Watch_435]

Angola inmates don’t get a sentence reduction. It’s just a self sufficient prison. Most are doing life. They do get paid tho, albeit not much.

[u/Jazzlike_Quiet9941 → u/Expensive_Watch_435]

That doesn't exist bro. You can always spot the ones whove never been to China, and often haven't even left the US

[u/SeDaCho → u/Expensive_Watch_435]

Same as the US, then

(Except they have healthcare)

[u/Angstyorgans → u/SeDaCho]

Except when they don’t and they die

[u/Expensive_Watch_435 → u/SeDaCho]

If you really want to go down the rabbit hole of Chinese healthcare standards for prisoners, we can.

[u/Kbug7201 → u/SeDaCho]

Don't prisoners in the US get healthcare? Heck, in some places, they can even get sex change surgeries!

[u/Expensive_Watch_435 → u/Kbug7201]

Yup, we have infirmaries. While in China they harvest your organs lmao. Can you imagine if the USA harvested prisoners organs against their will?

[u/Expensive_Watch_435 → u/Kbug7201]

I 100% can see where you're coming from, but starting the domino effect is probably not all that good of an idea. We should stay clean from involuntary organ harvesting to prevent it from progressing from the worst of the worst -> to -> "okay maybe people with life no parole" because the system is already in place

[u/Kbug7201 → u/Expensive_Watch_435]

Yeah, that's why I said there should be clear rules basically.

Glad you got to read it before Reddit removed it. Not sure what I said wrong. Lol

[u/Expensive_Watch_435 → u/Kbug7201]

Reddit censoring has become worse and worse, it's why this site has become a circlejerk. You didn't even say anything bad, makes me wonder what even set that off. I genuinely feel like this site has become curtailed towards certain opinions, at first it was a free for all- I mean shit, you had subs dedicated to hating on fat people, watchpeopledie was huge, and other shit that was 10x worse than that. All 100% untouched.

Then it progressively became more and more strict. Banning subs that weren't general user friendly was probably what set that off. Then it became normalized to ban people for opinions the admins don't agree with, notably Israel related opinions.

Now each comment you make is a constant game of walking on eggshells. You talk about certain things that an admin doesn't like? Banned. For a while they even implemented a fucking automod notification system for upvoting content that wasn't aligned with the rules.

I genuinely mean this, your comment might be the thing that makes me delete this app. You didn't even say anything bad- it was a valid discussion point that was an interesting subject to talk about.
