  • If nobody wants to clean the shower, then it’s not the administration’s problem if grime starts to build up on it.

    Some of these examples amount to de facto collective punishment by introducing a tragedy of the commons.

    “The new arrival didn’t clean up the ancient infested shower of disease, so she too consents to never getting a shower.”

    Paying some prisoner a pittance to clean the shower every week would be insignificant compared to the cost of containing them. And it reduces the incentive for a gang to privatize the showers.

    Let’s not experiment on clever new prison ideas. Let’s just copy Finland.
