    I don't understand why Texas voters support such inhumane conditions. All these "Christians" who support this kind of cruel punishment need to have a "come to Jesus" moment, literally.

        The point of imprisonment is cruelty? Many would disagree. I can think of a few other reasons for it...

          The imprisonment and lack of freedom is the punishment. The prison itself doesn't need to be actively unpleasant - the whole point is you cannot leave.
