It depends on the person.

Studies have been done and the poorer a prisoner is treated the more likely they are to fall back into the crimes that put them there in the past.

Think about it even if they want to go straight they have a much harder road being an ex-con and in many cases have trouble securing a job even if they have some skills. Meanwhile if it's an ex-con that has no skills trying to get a half-way decent job is a nightmare.

But you can bet your ass if they live in shitty conditions those entire 20 years they are far more likely to get out and immediately go back into crime. Also no one is advocating for something like a spa or some high end hotel, we just want reasonable ones like some other countries have.
