I've been incarcerated in a jail that was the same way with the men and women. The men were out from am head count to evening lockdown. The women were not let out except to grab trays and return to cell. I was only there a few days but was not allowed to shower. I remember asking the other girls when they were allowed to shower and was told never. I don't see how that's legal

Not disregarding the blatant human rights issue in prisons, I totally agree with you on that, and that people do need more space, but the hamster thing isn’t 400 square feet, it’s 420 square inches I believe! 400 square feet would for sure be a huge hamster house. Regardless of the hamster stuff, people do definitely need to care more about inmates welfare, and having way more space for them.

I'd love to see you do a video for what you wish health care professionals knew about addicts or something along those lines. One thing I in particular struggle with is asking people if they do any street drugs in a way that doesnt sound judgemental. For example- I work in cardiology and I cant give cocaine users a certain class of BP meds. I never know how to bring it up in a way that makes them feel like they can be honest. I'd love your input.
