The US treats its people worse than its prisoners. And I bet some idiots out there think it means they should start treating their prisoners worse.

Unfortunately that is not even close to true. I get what you mean but prisons are . . . not great. People regularly die of neglect in jails. Prisons are slightly better than that, but it costs 50x more.

People regularly die of neglect out in the streets, where everyone can see them, as well.

Yes but “the streets” don’t have a legally mandated staff whose job it is to check on people.
