I agree.
The "tough guy" comment meant for those internet hardasses that say "let them stay in a cesspool, they shouldn't be there to start with!"
The jail being a dump, dangerous, understaffed place worthy of a Central American country is an issue most would take up if it was their brother, son, daughter that wound up residing there for a bit. And for those that think they're above that, or didn't raise their kids that way, I hope they never find out how stupid and arrogant that is.
They do need to meet codes and requirements just like any other facility. If they don't then the taxpayers need to fund upgrades or replacement.
