Why are criminals housed together in prison?

231 views

Like for example, why are they housed in a cell by two, or eat together. If it’s just my false perception caused by Hollywood, then I get it, but doesn’t this allow more violence and plots of escape?

To save money. The same reason kids have to share bedrooms. You can’t give every prisoner a private apartment and dining service. Especially when you have many prisons owned by private corporations whose primary duty is to maximize profits for shareholders. They’re gonna stack them up as high as they can, violence and rapes be damned.
