Trump says he will outlaw homelessness and arrest everyone who refuses to comply. He will then give them the option to get out of jail to be relocated to new tent cities elsewhere where he will take care of their needs. pic.twitter.com/P5z5ckG8b6— Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦 (@RonFilipkowski) April 18, 2023
I mean, its all fiction, so I can't really argue the degree to which fictional people were fictionally treated. That said, I think you overstate the theory that these places were "humane" by any standard.
what real American leaders are proposing
What current prisoners in my own home state of Texas are suffering exceeds what "real American leaders" are proposing. Even the fucking guards in these prisons are passing out from heat stroke. People are dying from malnutrition, from dehydration, from the fucking mumps... Nobody seriously wants to talk about the absolutely hellish conditions of our prison system.
I'll cede that the fictional utopian hellscape of DS9's pre-history was marginally less bad. But all that really proves is how disconnected from prison policy in the US we've all become.
