A couple of people have already commented incredulously though maybe too light-heartedly for you on that point.

After all they're only criminals - innocent or guilty
Yes they are technically criminals because of a thing called due process, although there will always be an unfortunate few who are wronged by the system, that is undesirable anywhere but happens everywhere.

Maybe he'll find a way to cut the food bill even further and earn another 4 years on the job.

You can be imprisoned in some states of the US just for jaywalking or not having enough cash on you and not only are adults imprisoned, but children as well.
As well as the occasional adult, murderer, rapist, mugger, armed robber, thief, burglar, con man, wife basher, drug dealer, child molester, drunk driver amongst the huge population of jaywalkers and vagrants.
Prision is not about inhuman treatment and abuse. But I have no problem with it being an unattractive place to be. You did not mention the part about the certified school?
