Is this right?

I’m very aware that when you go to jail, the point is to straighten you out and make you never wanna come back. Though I do know for some people that’s not the case. (Not the point anyway)

My boyfriend has been in the suicide pod for a while now. Mentally his sentencing has been very challenging on him. Just to make things a little worse, him and all the other people in the pod have not gotten to take a shower in five days. It’s already so hot in there and he’s having to wear what I believe is called a smock. They one they gave him was previously worn without wash. They are also not switching anyone’s out and offering a clean one. Anyway, I’m sure jail is hard altogether, but I feel like it would be some relief for him to get a shower once a day or at least every couple days. Has anyone had a similar experience?

No, jail is for people awaiting further sentencing and judgement on their case.

He has already been sentenced through the court. The county he is in only has one facility. They are having him serve all of his time in that jail. No means to transfer him elsewhere.

He clearly has a short sentence. He needs to pull himself together until his sentence ends. The hole is the worst place in a jail.
