Reply to comment by officerfett in Bankman-Fried execs likely to be freed on bail after FTX fraud pleas by cloud_coder

It certainly helps, but the only sure way to avoid American jails is to not be accused by the police. People in jail are still legally innocent, but often have to deal with lack of heat or ac, and lack of medicine.

Love me some constant 68 degrees, lights always on, and an uncensored public toilet few feet away. Glorious

14 people have died this year alone from the conditions at Rikers Island. Waiting for trial. If you want photos, here they are. In the hallways, the stench burns your eyes.

The lights do not turn off. You have to drink water with your hands, and you are not provided soap. You have to share your 7 x 6 cell with 3 other people. There is only one bench, so you have to sleep on the ground. They give you plastic sheeting as blankets.
