A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' etc.

Convert it to a homeless shelter then. Rip out the bars and put real walls and doors in. Get rid of the toilet next to the bed and install restaurant style bathrooms. Renovate a few areas to accommodate couples and families. Retain the guards and hire mental health and job counselors.
This inspired me to look up modern prison cells, and a lot, but not all, actually have walls instead of bars. I think the doors are the biggest thing that would need to be replaced. I like this idea, if it can ever be implemented.
Prisons are designed to be dehumanizing and the renovations would need to address that. The examples I have is just a short list. There would also need to be a bit of utilitarianism involved because a family unit has a higher need for space and privacy that a single occupant does.
