Sure let them watch pbs...maybe Arthur will teach them some life lessons...or magic school bus, but there is nothing on BET they need to be watching. |
Besides suicides there is also the problem of homosexuality and the TV gives the inmates some thing to occupy their time beside the homo stuff and the jails do not want wide spread disease and debauchery in the jails.
Plus by mistreating the prisoners too much then they attack the guards and or riot. That is a big threat to any system. People can not be controlled solely by force because we have limits to our fear and then we attack - do or die.
Most prisoners want to get released by parole / probation or even time served and so they behave in jail and cooperate with the system and they snitch on any trouble making other inmate. So the jails need the prisoners to be content and passive or else the system breaks down into catastraphy.
