Imagine you’re building more comfortable prisons to house all the people incarcerated in the US. Who do you move to the comfy prisons first? Elderly inmates? Non-violent offenders? While all the inmates deserve better treatment, I’d prioritize those who have committed less severe crimes.

Well yeah? I don’t think the US needs more prisons though.
Prisons in the US are overcrowded. On the other hand, many are in prison for stupid reasons, and should probably just get released.
