Do Conservatives find something wrong with the fact that prisoners get free health care, but not citizens?

Prisoners also get free food, free heat in the winter, and a free bed to sleep in every night. This is why Jesse Jackson famously said that, for many ghetto youths, jail is a step up. Personally, I liked the old approach where youthful miscreants were given a chance to join the army as an alternative to jail time. Older convicts spent the day on road gangs to earn their "benefits." If they tried to run away from the road gang, a dude standing guard would shoot them in the back with a rifle. Imagine the job satisfaction there!
