I meant uniformity of rules across institutions. I don't have an issue with different rules for different types of prisoners. Just that those have some uniformity across the various places. Right now, you can do prison time in a county jail (yes, serving an actual sentence in jail), in a state prison, or in a federal prison. The state prisons, particularly, are all over the place on rules and environment. And those serving sentences in county jails are also typically getting the short end of the stick, as the facility rules aren't made for long-term inmates.
