It's insane to me that even the "luxury" jail looks like a horrendous dungeon, and the implied solution in the article is that everyone should be in the even worse county jails. It's no wonder the US has the recidivism rate that it does. All of the cells for all prisoners need to be upgraded to something that looks like a living space if there's going to be any hope for the persons in them to be able to reintegrate into normal society when they're released. Being afraid of getting raped and murdered everyday while living in a gray concrete box doesn't exactly produce well adjusted individuals. I thought the punishment was supposed to be the incarceration itself, not the added daily violence in jails. It's so barbaric, people who manage to get out of these places and become productive members of society seem almost superhuman to me.
