Thought the same thing when I read it. To my ears, it sounded a lot like a CCA official was simply yelling over the reporter’s questions, “ANYTHING BAD IN THAT ARTICLE IS STUFF WE MOSDEF DON’T DO, BUT MAYBE DON’T LOOK ANY DEEPER THAN OUR STATEMENT.”
The point I was attempting to make earlier: People with shitty jobs can, at least, quit their shitty jobs and remove themselves from shitty conditions. People in prison or jail cannot simply walk out because the conditions are not to their liking. They have zero choice in their living conditions.
