I agree with you on the ideal of equality.

Practically speaking, even the option to be home bound if you have a home, apartment, or willing caretaker could be a serious blow to the prison industrial complex, and the incentive structures that allow these guards to commit horrific abuse.

I'd expect that removing everyone with resources to fight back against horrific abuse would make the abuse far more horrific, not less.

I thought about that too, but I don’t think your resources matter much once you’re in the penal system except to bribe or pay for protection.

Honestly I’m not sure how it would pan out but it does appear that the power to abuse is directly correlated with the number of inmates and revenue generated as a result thereof.
