10. If you are writing this treatise from the inside of one of these
institutions and thus have a valid, personal complaint, then it's a reasonable point. If not, why is it that important? Medical care, at least in the area of cancer, emphysema, etc, is not all that good in prison.

By all the numbers, it would appear that constant heavy tobacco use should reduce the cost of their incarceration-they ain't gonna live that long.

I know a few who are in it for the long haul and, according to them, the costs associated with medical care aren't very high. I happen to think it would be much better to provide them with all the drugs they want and take away the strength training gym equipment.
