Why do you care? Who decides what someone else "deserves?" Does prison or detention have to include deprivation and cruelty? This doesn't seem like something to get upset about unless you plan to spend time in prison.

This doesn't seem like a topic to ask about on hacker news. Also, your grammar is confusing to the point I don't exactly know what the question is.

It depends on what purpose you think prisons serve:

- If you believe that they're a punishment, then probably nothing.

- If you believe that prisons are there to rehabilitate people into being good members of society, then things like libraries, televisions, and other educational things should definitely be there.

- If you believe prisons are there mostly to protect the public from people who have committed crimes, then they should really be quite similar to life outside of prison just with the freedom to move around in public removed.

It's probably some combination of the second two. Prisons as a punishment only serves to create worse criminals who are suffering some deep trauma when they leave, which causes them to commit more crime. But also, people who have committed crimes that don't demonstrate a risk to others probably ought to receive non-custodial sentences and then prisons can be much smaller.

This sounds like a homework question.
