Jail was never meant to be the safest, most pleasant utopia kind of place for anybody. Not everybody from inmate to CO is going to like the way a jail is run, but a jail is there is deter crime and be a dystopian kind of place. People in jail shouldn't be dying, getting hurt, or getting sick for no reason or over nothing, but jail isn't meant to become a safe place people want to go, since that would make people want to commit crime. If anything, now that death penalties have either been abolished or reduced to injections instead of the more gruesome routes to death, jails are about as safe as they can get already.

Get the library jailmug. When the basic things to run your life all involve labyrinthine processes to get simple answers (forget about specialized, non-pre-recorded ones).
Example is having a utility bill emailed to you, then having trouble logging into their site to view it -- only to be sent to another series of screens to register, since it's your first time there ; or, to change passwords when you realize you don't recall the one you used two years ago when you first logged in (never having returned, since you chose to get paper bills for awhile after the Web service launched, but now the company has made it hard to do anything outside of online).
Oh, and generally, the experience of dealing with any service run by a large, government or corporate enterprise (cf. voicejail)
